Big news today at a press conference with Jacinta Allan and Lily D'Ambrosio – from 2026 the Victorian Energy Upgrades program will support installation of ceiling insulation!

Insulation is critical energy infrastructure, supporting health, comfort and affordability. Good on Vic for leading on this

This week the Let Me Sum Up podcast sums up the climate and energy measures in the 2025-26 Federal Budget – admittedly slim pickings, leaving ample opportunity for @frankiemuskovic.bsky.social, @tennantreed.bsky.social and I to play armchair Treasurer!

The last LMSU for 2024 includes some big reveals! Is Tennant still talking to Frankie after her brutal campaign in our movie listener poll? Are we totally besotted or just completely enamoured with Princess Mononoke? And who won the 2024 Wonky Award for best paper? podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/l...

This is interesting – COP29 in attendance in Baku lower than COP28 in Dubai, but still second highest ever. I was expecting a bigger drop...

Just dropped: the Let Me Sum Up podcast's annual half-time COP check in with @carbonbrief.org's very own @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org!

Here is the promised extra episode of Let Me Sum Up on Australia's Carbon Leakage Review consultation paper.

Recorded pre-US election no commentary on that. Maybe a bug, maybe a feature? But I can guarantee a healthy dose of Tennant being delighted about CBAMs.

Much of the reaction to the SEC strategy announced by Jacinta Allan on Thursday was focused on the supply side play, but a big role for the SEC in household electrification could end up being just as significant. And maybe more so!
