In the middle of a fossil fuel crisis, it’s time to shout the clean energy message loud and clear | Zoe Daniel
The case for renewables is clear. Every extra EV on an Australian road is litres of petrol saved, every home battery means less gas used and a more resilient electricity grid

You know, it’s just possible to feel really bad about the violent deaths of Israeli Jews, the genocide in Palestine and the deaths of Australian Jews all while being neither anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. Somehow that has become impossible for the political class.

"You're asking me about something that the president just said... He's never going to implement it... We should talk instead about what he's doing... Every time we get distracted by what he talks about rather than what he does... he destroys and he redistributes to the rich."

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas

The ICJ has ruled countries have a legal obligation to tackle climate change. This decision backs the concerns of Pacific nations like Tuvalu that are at the forefront of the climate crisis. Will major fossil fuel exporters like Australia step up? @stephenlongaus.bsky.social #auspol

Volgens mij is dit geen staatsgreep en moeten we dat woord niet meer gebruiken. Trump zit er gewoon, democratisch verkozen. Wat is het wel? Het is Machtergreifung - dmv noodverordeningen - in combinatie met Gleichschaltung - politiek, media, wetenschap, cultuur onder ideologische controle. Een 🧶

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

The comments are interesting. While not dismissing them, I think back to growing up in the Netherlands when cycling infra def wasn’t there either (& all the rain!). Took gov investment, increased cycling, more investment, more cycling, etc to where we are now. Positive return on investment now
