Saying it again. Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy we could have. Those pushing the conversation on it, are using it to distract from the rollout of the cheapest, cleanest energy form: renewables. #auspol
We don't need nuclear power - the path to cheaper electricity is renewables
The last thing Australia energy market needs is nuclear power. The data is clear - more renewables will lead to cheaper electricity.

There is no such thing as a safe seat.
Demand politicians earn your vote.
Don't accept mediocrity.
Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies.
Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities.
If it's a priority, it is always affordable.

Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯
Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them.

Do the folks who want to tear up bike lanes not understand that if the cyclists are not in the bike lanes they are in the lanes with the cars? In most cases in their own cars? Which means they are now (noisy, polluting) traffic? More car lanes just means more cars.

This Vienna street isn’t “closed” because cars have been removed. It has successfully been “opened” to everything else, to a diverse and invigorated civic life, because cars have been replaced by a multitude of wonderful things.

If you’re REALLY trying to “solve” traffic congestion, then road widenings and more car lanes are expensive exercises in futility — unless of course your REAL goal is even more people driving more often and longer in the same or worse congestion, fuelled by a lot more suburban sprawl. #induceddemand
