Rooftop solar could be switched off/curtailed, on an almost daily basis – just to accommodate the 14 gigawatts of #nuclear power that Coalition wants to jam into #Australia grid.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

This offshore wind farm could replace virtually all of Australia’s coal power stations.

It is evidence a minority state government can get on with the move away from coal, and that Labor and Liberal governments can work together to achieve real zero. #auspol

Dutton is laughably citing his personal propaganda machine News Corp to spread disinformation/lies/bullshit (call it what you like) about the cost of nuclear power. Fact is, Dutton’s mega expensive nuclear plan has one goal: destroying renewables, delaying climate action, propping up fossil fuels.

Good point by Scott Hamilton.

This is a point that I have also previously raised. Nuclear also makes no sense in Australia from an economic point of view.
A distributed energy system is more secure & resilient than a concentrated system. Just ask Ukraine.

Why would Australia build 7 new strategic military targets, in an increasingly unstable world, when it doesn’t need to?

The national energy marketer seems alarmed by the (wonderful, world-leading!) fact that *4 million* Australian homes and businesses have rooftop solar.

It’s time for the government to help all those homes and businesses afford the batteries they need to store their cheap, clean energy.
