NASA released a bunch of 16 and 35mm film engineering footage of the Artemis II launch today. Naturally I knew what I had to do with it.

A quick hot take on Albanese's AI plan from a climate / energy perspective: ultimately nothing new, but reading between the lines, a hint at weakening a 100% clean standard specifically to allow for gas. www.pm.gov.au/media/ai-aus...
And we know they will need energy too.

We will create a legal obligation for the next generation of large-scale data centres to underwrite new power supply.

To pay their full share of grid connection, so no costs are passed on to homes or businesses.

And to put at least as much energy into our grid as they take out of it.

To be net-generators, not net-users.

To build new renewable generation – and firming – to strengthen our national energy resilience.
