Energy nerd Christmas was yesterday, with the release of the Australia's official energy data for 2024–25. I think the share of Australia's gas being sent offshore hit a new all-time record high for the year, which is neat unless you are running an Aussie business or home that uses energy.

Australian gas production and use in the 2024–25 financial year
As with every other year in the past decade, Australia produced far more gas than it used in 2024-25.

76.5% of all the gas produced in Australia shipped overseas via one of Australia's 10 liquefied gas terminals. Another 8.3% of all the gas produced in Australia was burned by those gas export terminals and their supporting infrastructure to produce, process and compress that gas for export.

Well under one-fifth of the gas produced in Australia went to Australian users of the fuel. Gas exporters burn more of their own product preparing gas for export than any sector of Australia's domestic economy.

When a team of ProPublica reporters first heard that a Putin-linked oligarch named Umar Kremlev attended Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, they couldn’t believe it. Then they found the proof in an Instagram group photo. Listen to this excerpt from our “Paper Trail” podcast:

There's really no complicated explanation for this, or any kind of grand theory. It's just Econ 101 and he flat out does not understand it because he's an idiot.

"The findings highlight the scale of demographic catastrophe experienced by Indigenous Australians due to colonisation … the implications being a heightened understanding of intergenerational trauma and to inform future policy”—Prof. Lynette Russell #FirstNations www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australia’s Indigenous population estimated at 2.2m before ‘demographic catastrophe’ of colonisation

Study finds earlier numbers were underestimated, suggesting impact of diseases and massacres were much greater than previously thought

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

I'm old enough to remember when one @ipcc.bsky.social statement about Himalayan glaciers "disappearing" by 2035 was some major scandal. Meanwhile, this today, via @apnews.com. Yes, that's climate change; i.e. us dumping CO₂ into the atmospheric sewer. Hundreds dead.
