And the evidence against nuclear being practical/realistic solution for Australia continues….#renewables #EnergyTransition #nuclearfarce @PeterDutton_MP

@Samuel_Hunter_ Yes!

For most younger Australians, Net Zero has become a simple proxy for one question - do you support action on climate change or not? When conservatives argue against Net Zero, they only reinforce the brand they’ve built over the past decade, a brand that, in the eyes of younger Australians, signals climate scepticism and resistance to progress. Do younger Australians believe energy prices will fall under Net Zero? No. Do they still back Net Zero as a necessary path to climate action? Yes. People can hold both views at once and still punish politicians who refuse to act. This is where some who comment on politics, play with politics or are in politics - fail. It’s not a red v blue thing here. When it comes to higher energy prices, they lay most of the blame on the former Coalition Federal Government that, in their view, dithered and delayed. Labor governments don’t get a leave pass here either - not moving fast enough and slowing projects down for political reasons. And if anyone thinks there is nothing to see here - this from our September n=5000 national sample.

If the Congo can do it…so can Australia “We need to stop emissions by electrifying everything and providing the electricity with Wind, Water and Solar (WWS), which includes onshore wind, solar photovoltaics, concentrated solar power, geothermal electricity, small hydroelectricity, and large hydroelectricity”

@renew_economy Rumour is the Victorian Government is wobbling @LilyDAmbrosioMP - getting nervous?

The bill for #MarinusLink, including the onshore #transmission works in #Tasmania, will come to just over $5 billion dollars, a major new assessment has found.. reneweconomy.com.au/marinus-costs-…

NEW CHART: Trump's "big beautiful bill" & other efforts to dismantle climate policy means the US will add an extra 7bn tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere from now until 2030, compared to meeting its former climate pledge under the Paris Agreement 🫠 carbonbrief.org/chart-trumps-b…

@ChristineMilne Won’t the Tasmanian owned HydroTas make more money for the TAS Government though? They’ll be able to increase their returns right?

Dean Winter says he’ll sell Tas 17% share in #Marinus to Feds and Vic. But that does not stop Tas power bills going up because the owners will seek to recoup the $5b cost from consumers in Vic and Tas. AER will decide on split but make no mistake Tas transmission costs will rise.

@RyanJones6980 @LilyDAmbrosioMP Both. They have bought actual generation producing projects outright, and they’ve brokered power purchase agreements. But mostly the later as some of the former aren’t finished yet.

@LilyDAmbrosioMP So does the SEC produce any power or does it buy energy from wholesalers and sell it to the government for no profit ?

As of today, the SEC is powering Victorian Government operations – from schools, to trains, to hospitals, to iconic sites like the NGV and more.

@LilyDAmbrosioMP And as of 10:33am the wholesale price of electricity in Victoria is $182.60 per MWhr whilst in Queensland it is $-16.80.

Consumer cost alert: what is buying social license really going to cost consumers? Is it getting out of control? VIC Gov & @AEMO_Energy (via entity TCV) increase payment to landholders = $460,000/km on a 100m-wide transmission easement traversing a farm & comes on top of the government’s $200,000 over 25 years, plus statutory payments made under the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act. Seriously???? @AlboMP @DEECA_Vic @aergovau @EnergyCharterAU

Feeling a “told you so” moment. Need more honest discussions in industry about what will happen when transmission doesn’t get built. ⁦@AlboMP⁩ ⁦@⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦@AEMO_Energy⁩ ⁦@DEECA_Vic ⁦@NexaAdvisory⁩ #transmission #cleanenergy afr.com/companies/ener…

In what should be a news for Australia, new research finds solar panels in paddocks may alleviate water stress, improve soil moisture levels, and increase plant growth by around 20 per cent or more.. reneweconomy.com.au/solar-farms-re…

No surprises here. I was first stood over by a CFMEU rep 25 years ago. Threatened & pressured 2 concoct fictitious site members 4 them. Didn’t do it. Suspect my builder did. This union limits the future growth of Victoria. #nocorruption #noviolence @AlboMP @JacintaAllanMP #DoBetter @SenatorWong

@LilyDAmbrosioMP 65 batteries? Full cost 12.37m?

We've announced $12.37 million for 65 more neighbourhood batteries all around Victoria, to lower power bills and help with the cost of living.

@TheOnlyEsta Yes

YES or NO Do YOU think DT should apologize to President Zelenskyy?

Records fall in Victoria, with brown #coal and demand hitting new lows, battery output and wind hitting new highs, and renewables reaching more than 95 pct reneweconomy.com.au/brown-coal-hit…
