We were lost in Spain and my wife asked for directions at a gas station. A trucker said, "In life, my love, we are all lost" and then had us follow him to the exit we needed. I think of it when I take a wrong turn. (Sounds better in the original Spanish "En la vida mi amor todos estamos perdidos.")
do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

Absolutely just strutting directly into the most powerful narratives being deployed in bad faith by opponents: that offshore wind projects are environmentally destructive.
Grattan's idea to scrap nature protections for offshore wind would be a bad precedent.
There are dual processes because offshore wind is built in Cwealth waters + transmission crosses into states.
What's actually needed is better state+federal industry policy. 1/2 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

At least three companies bow out of the race to develop an offshore wind farm off the state's south-west coast, with one citing an unexpected amount of "green tape".
