We just won in court. Two coal approvals overturned in four months — Mount Pleasant and now Ulan Mod 6. You cannot ignore the climate impacts hitting our communities. Bushfires. Floods. Heatwaves. When we stand up, we win. 🌱⚖️🔥

well this is a significant change - is Australia now counting rain from midnight (like the US) instead of since 9am (like the UK)?

“Mudgee winery has become the largest of its kind in Australia to go completely off the electricity grid. More than 400 solar panels power the cellar door, winery, machinery, processing plant and restaurant”

wont be long now till the word is neatly split into two tech camps, US & CN
Most affected would probably be #Microsoft, they would have to decide whether to support #UEFI / #UBIOS standards. Possible to support both? Probably, but will be complex/expensive. Geopolitical pressure will be immense. UEFI/UBIOS only affects the boot sequence.
