Pursued relentlessly by the government of Vladimir Putin, the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison. He left behind an account of his final years—and an admonition to his country and the world.

We’ve hit 46% renewable energy in the national grid.
We’re on our way to hit 82% renewables energy by 2030.
Peter Dutton and the Liberals plan to stop that, and to cap renewable energy at 54%.
That’s putting up the stop sign on the opportunity of cleaner, more reliable energy.
