Claims that solar and wind are deeply unpopular among Australia’s regional communities have been challenged by the results of a new poll.

Despite attempts by some to spread lies + divide communities, renewable energy remains seriously popular in regional Australia. New poll shows 70% support for renewables. But people believe support is lower than it really is. This is where we see impact of disinfo reneweconomy.com.au/listen-to-fa...

Building a new electricity cable between Tassie and Victoria is extremely controversial (it's costing a fortune). It was pitched as Tasmania saving the mainland from intermittent solar and wind. But it may be that the Marinus Link is needed to save Tasmania from drought. #energy 🌏

There’s a number of First Nations clean energy partnerships developing wind, solar and hydro projects in Australia. Take a look >> www.firstnationscleanenergy.org.au/energy-proje... #auspol

“parking lots in South Korea with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar canopies and carports. But, unlike similar laws that have been proposed in the US, this new law doesn’t just apply to new construction – existing lots will have to comply as well!” electrek.co/2025/11/02/n...

Cheaper power for renewables neighbours has been much requested, but difficult to do. A startup says it can make work for both communities and developers.

This week's #SundayShot goes global with Shot favourite @ketanjoshi.co beaming in from Oslo, joined by Dark Money expert @lucyham.bsky.social, with an update on all things EPBC Act from @ausconservation.bsky.social's Brendan Sydes. As ever, like, subscribe, donate 👇! www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

Prepayment energy customers who are mostly First Nations people, by and large miss out on consumer protections enjoyed by post-pay customers in Australia. This needs to change. The Right to Power report is being launched today. No one should be left in the dark. #auspol

Better laws are still possible –if the government removes widespread discretion powers and fixes the glaring gaps. Read more in our media release: envirojustice.org.au/press-releas...

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

New article just published! I address Bill Gates' recent pivot away from climate change, and explain why his message is both dangerous (emboldening climate deniers) and incoherent (climate change mitigation is inextricably bound up with alleviating global poverty). GRRRR!!!

Chris Hedges, "I turned to him and I said, "You're a piece of shit," to David Marr after the interview on Late Night Live, which Matt Lieb says it was "clearly an ambush." youtu.be/0lgS1m8WcGg?... 25 min

Treaty has passed in the Victorian parliament! Amazing news www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Awesome!!! Conservation Council of Western Australia Conference is called Soliphilia "...we’ll explore how to accelerate the shift to renewable energy, reduce industrial emissions, and end harmful practices – all while protecting ecosystems for future generations." conference.ccwa.org.au/about/

I never thought I'd see Tennant Reed dressed as a wizard. But here we are.

This neo Nazi rally in Ballarat, where they co-opted Eureka legacy, was just deemed fine by a court - expect to see more like it "Behaviour deemed unacceptably offensive by some, may not trouble others at all," Magistrate Wardell said.

“Recent reports about farmers being harassed for hosting renewable energy projects may have shocked city readers, but to us they rang true. We've seen and experienced bullying, misinformation and deliberate efforts to shame those who make a different choice about their land.”

I’ve been waiting g for a headline like this for years! So good to see

Next week, Original Power and @firstnationscen.bsky.social will launch a landmark report, 'The Right to Power - Keeping First Nations' communities on prepayment connected' - and you can join the virtual launch: loom.ly/QQWLEDo

I’m still a believer… from 2022… “Local institutions like the Latrobe Valley Authority, rolled out in other Renewable Energy Zones across Victoria and in other states, would provide significant support for regions to thrive during a time of change” www.re-alliance.org.au/latrobe_vall...

It’s a thing, “In the case of the recent train crash north of Perth, officials believe that large numbers of the critters had accumulated on the railway and were responsible for causing the train to slip of the tracks.” www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/254275/...

Love this concept by George Monibot, “the Pollution Paradox. Because the dirtiest industries attract the least public support, they have the greatest incentive to spend money on politics, to get the results they want and we don’t.” From 2019 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Train from Ballarat to Melbourne was delayed because there were millipedes or centipedes on the track because of the torrential rain - the ticket guy told me…wth

Disappearing jewels. Today’s Age cartoon

This story is insane - “future development” is going to be the death of us. “We have seen some councils in South Australia effectively choosing to ignore their flood mapping because it is seen to harm prospects for future development.” www.theguardian.com/... #ClimateCrisis

What?! “Amazon, Apple, Google and other major companies are among those donating to help cover the cost of President Trump’s massive new ballroom at the White House.”

Sadly this dodgy group, Rainforest Reserves Australia, is being weaponised by climate deniers, has been cited by the Nationals leader David Littleproud & is being loudly amplified in the Murdoch media. It's just another chapter in the fossil fuel industry's playbook to spread lies.

Time in invest in Tulip’s

“they argue necessity - of reinstating a price on carbon in the electricity sector”

The real YIMBYs: the people doing the incredibly hard work to bring together environment groups, renewable energy companies, and local ,state and federal governments to maximise renewable growth whilst minimising environmental harm ----->>> reneweconomy.com.au/rainforest-r...

BREAKING! 🧵(1 of 3) Rainforest Reserves Australia used to be a legit NGO in the Queensland Wet Tropics. They fought off a windfarm near a national park, but then were turned into an anti-RE propaganda source for Sky, Advance & the fossil #AtlasNetwork www.rainforestreserves.org.au/media-releas...

Anti-renewables group RRA admits to using AI to write over 100 submissions after it was caught using made up papers and referring to a wind farm that doesn't even exist www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"Two US-based academics and experts said Rainforest Reserves Australia’s (RRA) claims in submissions about their work were “100% misleading” and “absurd"...the organisation’s submission writer has admitted using AI." And, look who supports RRA ;) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

V good @business-humanrights.org summary of the current state of benefit sharing in the renewable energy sector It is really wild how underdeveloped this model is, but there is also a massive amount of opportunity. www.business-humanrights.org/en/blog/bene...

An Australian woman who has not agreed to sign a waiver acknowledging she sought to 'illegally break Israel’s naval blockade' on Gaza will be “indefinitely detained” in Israel’s Ketziot prison unless she agrees to sign the waiver.

Wow, way worse than I expected. Way, way worse. All these extra years of coal-fired power generation in QLD will directly cause a massive number of avoidable deaths and harm to people, and destroy huge swathes of nature. Why isn't there more anger? www.treasury.qld.gov.au/files/Queens...

Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

$10m of fraud recovered from the Australian “job provider” system in the last 3 years and not one provider removed from the system. So welfare recipients lose their ability to pay for shelter or food due to other people’s errors, but job providers face no consequences for fraud.
