icowrich.bsky.social @icowrich.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Let’s say (optimistically) that conservatives (whether it be Coalition or something else) do manage it in 2031. Greens are still likely to run the crossbench. What then? Opposition to nuclear is their raison d'être. So… 100

icowrich.bsky.social @icowrich.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Nuclear is dead in Australia. First, it’s illegal. To legalize it, advocates would need to capture the House and the Senate, which won’t happen in this decade. But… 111
icowrich.bsky.social @icowrich.bsky.social · 10/05/2025This is all of Australia's (NEM + WA) energy mix (12 month average). Renewables just surpassed 40% & coal is heading down towards 50% (at 52% currently). Because this is a rolling average, the current energy mix (annualized) is already below 50%. But we'll see it in the rolling average soon enough. 010
