A shockingly pathological proportion of the energy industry and even some wild sections of the climate space treat gas not only like it isn't a fossil fuel but like it's the same as wind and solar. It is truly bonkers

This is bad. Fossil fuels are a dangerous product and need to be urgently phased out. Shit like this just dumps a massive, red-hot acidic risk on the public. The companies involved should be paying for decommissioning and worker retraining, and climate reparations

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

It’s Easter and the US President chose to share this, an unhinged and expletive ridden rant threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. Australians want no part in this and they expect our government to clearly oppose it and organise to prevent it.

This is terribly sad. Australia does amazing astronomy and their ESO involvement was a very good thing for all I think (as a relatively remote person to it)

The Australien Government has made an ad about Alcoa, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

Thank you Louise Adler! johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

Such a good piece here by my colleague Louise "Proponents argue CCS requires public funding to scale. But the public is already underwriting the sector through the liability framework embedded in federal law" Sure CCS sucks money from taxpayers, but at least it also burdens taxpayers with risk

“With this scaling up of carbon dumping ambition, the fossil fuel industry conversation has shifted in tone,” writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/3OYn6ZT

Anyone having trouble with Australia's community battery plan?

To me a community battery is literally a battery in my community that I feed all my excess solar in for people in my community to access for a massive discount. I don't get why they can't build batteries like this, especially in small towns like mine.

These batteries are run by private companies, even though getting govt grants, rather than govt/community agencies. Can only be for private profit. Where, exactly, is the benefit to the community/household?
