This cool visualization of atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa by @robbieandrew.bsky.social will be very messy when we reach net zero, but fortunately we don't have to worry about that anytime soon.

Yes folks our Australian mining industry is going “woke” as old Rupe ‘n Lachlan would headline it. Latest issue of Australian Mining has a cover story on transition to emissions-free machinery. Excavators, drill rigs, tractors and trucks. Big savings in operating costs.

Nuclear power plants use a large amount of water for cooling and to drive turbines, typically between 13–24 billion liters per year:
Amount of water used: A 1600 MW nuclear plant uses around 2,000 liters of water per second or 173 million liters per day

I have spent a lot of time reporting on, and writing about, fossil fuel sponsorship. It's very rare you get a working demonstration of why this matters. This double page spread in the Herald Sun was just sent to me with calls for more gas extraction -- sponsored by the gas industry.
