There was a recent panic among advertising bureaus about a ban on junk food ads set to come into force in July 1st in South Australia. An advertising lobby group (AANA) called for "evidence based" decisions; singling out ham as a poor struggling victim of the nanny state. 1/7

A friend sent me this from Germany. It looks like a normal, rather old, house, but it could be a high level nuclear waste storage building. Had you used this house to store a standard nucear waste storage cask in 1549, then by now the waste would be safe to handle. 1/3

The recent Spanish blackout and the 2016 South Australian blackout are remarkably similar (except for scale). 1. An event caused a loss of generation. In SA it was 456MW from storm damage to transmission towers. In Spain the precise cause is yet to be determined. 1/6

I'm looking forward to chatting with these legends of nuclear advocacy on Monday morning! Australia's bitter partisan debate has drifted far from the point: cleaning up our energy system. Come along for a refreshing look at what this clean, reliable energy source can offer us. 9am AEST / 10am AEDT

Everyone seems to be framing Trump's freeze on federal grants as a Constitutional fight over powers of the purse & whether presidents can disregard Congressional appropriations. It is that. But also at stake is the fundamental validity of government contracts! I see much less discussion on this... 🧵

Rooftop solar will kill any clean #energy transition. It's already happening in South Australia. Look at the chart. There are 735MW of solar farms in SA, but in only one of the last 7 sunny days have they sold much electricity. 1/n

In what kind of country do comedians celebrate greed and the audience laughs? It's been a long time since Donald Horne called Australia the lucky country. If Horne were writing today he'd call us the greedy country. www.blog.geoffrussell.com.au/post/tom-gle...

Eat the invaders? But which ones? We invaders have been eating invaders ever since we arrived. If we had been eating native wildlife, it would be long gone. www.blog.geoffrussell.com.au/post/eat-the...

Are Doctors for the Environment Australia really for the Environment? Or just leveraging their good reputation to spread misinformation and ignorance? wix.to/VErgyZo #DoctorsForTheEnvironment #NuclearPower #ClimateAction

Price chaos on the Australian electricity grid. Guess if it is increasing or decreasing...and why

Some things should are true, regardless of Party politics. The recent Frontier Economics report on the implications of adding nuclear power to the tools available to decarbonise our electricity system had plenty of useful facts that got ignored in the haste to point score. bit.ly/4iGut2M 1/14

Racing animals is cruel and should not continue. This video features #greyhound dog racing, but #horseRacing is just as bad. Warning, graphic content greyhoundcoalition.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Track-deaths-video-for-Tas-campaign.mp4

Want to know why the US Department of Energy disagrees with the Australian CSIRO and reckons that having nuclear in a grid makes electricity cheaper? Please read. Note: I've updated section 4 with new charts. www.blog.geoffrussell.com.au/post/koutsan...

Exactly why did South Australian Energy Minister snaffle a couple of diesels off the scrap heap to firm up SA's grid? www.blog.geoffrussell.com.au/post/koutsan...

$28 million for Macquarie Harbour "to help salmon companies that are foreign-owned, been making a mincer out of us for years & years & years...their profits are huge & yet, they haven't paid any tax for 3 years. Why aren't they cleaning up their own mess?" - Senator Jacqui Lambie #auspol

ICYMI: Amnesty International's new landmark report concludes that Israel has committed – and is still committing - #genocide against Palestinians in the occupied #Gaza Strip. #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

I read this about Tasmania’s salmon industry - (from Toxic) by Richard Flanagan - and haven’t eaten it since. The idea you would exempt this industry from environmental laws rather than regulate it properly is insane. www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2021/a...

"Managed grazing" is a fun way to say "breeding sentient beings into existence to kill them while destroying native ecosystems." Livestock grazing causes 80% of Amazon deforestation. #vegan #animalrights

Price for electricity in SA hit $12,500/MWh this afternoon. Not much information on WattClarity: wattclarity.com.au/articles/202... But this picture from openNem tells half of the story; no wind in SA, so gas is booming. 1/2
