Not only were the major contributors to inflation non-discretionary, but they were mostly unaffected by demand or interest rates rises. But yeah, go ahead raise rates again because you gotta look tough, I guess? theguardian.com/business/grogo…

@ChazTeplin Did y'all know that Australia is, like, a whole big country of its own, with its own dynamics & climate politics? It's true! Here's @miriamlyons explaining a little of Australia's history with climate, its clean-energy resources, & its current moment. #details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">volts.wtf/p/whats-the-de…

PM @AlboMP is headed to the Pacific Islands Forum. Will the PM support #PacificClimateJustice by signing the #PortVilaCall for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific? #Auspol #PIFLM52

Still not over this matter of fact pronouncement in yesterday’s @FT

I've been reporting on renewable energy for a decade. And no matter how much I write, there’s a question I get asked again & again: Why do we need big solar & wind farms when we can put solar on rooftops & parking lots instead? It's a great question. Let's do a thread... 🧵1/n

The @ecb & the 🇪🇺 central banks (@banquedefrance, @NBB_BNB_FR/@NBB_BNB_NL, @bundesbank, @bancodeportugal, @BancoDeEspana, @bancaditalia 👋) can fight climate change AND improve the living conditions of Europeans... How? By granting low interest loans! #CentralBanksHelpRenovate

GetUp’s First Nations’ Justice Team’s #WriteYes strategy & campaign is one of the few bright sparks on the Voice horizon. Have just chipped in- worth donating & sharing IMO: getup.to/ezMQ1cJCo1mFk

Just in case anyone reading this is thinking about debating a crackpot on a famous podcast. Here are some important tips for how to debate from a former debater and coach.

Australia is entering a price wage spiral. It is completely clear that companies are boosting prices ahead of anticipated inflation as they feel that consumers are now more accepting of price rises.

Of all the pain and hardship caused by the global fossil fuel price crisis, countries like Norway have been big, *big* winners. Norway earned more from selling climate-disaster-causing energy products in 2021+2022 than it did between 2015-2020. ssb.no/energi-og-indu…

So if we assume H2 leaks as much as CH4 (could argue up or down - it’s hard to handle but also most likely to be handled in high-safety industrial contexts), then H2 has leakage emissions of 0.1tCO2e per GJ leaked vs 0.54 for CH4. Small! But adds to importance of avoiding leaks.

Organizing leaders @MauriceWFP, @houseofmati, @alexahorwart, & Brendan Walsh, talk to @HinsonSandra about unity and struggle with centrist allies, building our progressive and left alignment, and what can stand in the way. forgeorganizing.org/article/what-d…

@miriamlyons @GriffithSaul We've got you covered!

@dylanjmcconnell @GriffithSaul Love the visual! Curious whether the gains from efficiency itself are really as small as this suggests? Any reason we can't have both & cut final energy demand even further? Found this from IRENA which puts EE, RE, and electrification on the same footing economy-wide...

@miriamlyons @GriffithSaul Fair! ...this might be tipping the scales too far in the other direction (From here - which maybe some other useful resources / ideas too: google.com/amp/s/reneweco…)

Looking for a slide that clearly shows the inherent energy efficiency gains from electrification - any suggestions #energytwitter? Maybe @GriffithSaul?

@RewiringAus @GriffithSaul Yay, exactly what I was after, thank you!!

@dylanjmcconnell @GriffithSaul Love this Sankey from the bottom of my heart, but I'm on the hunt for something visual that will be easy for non-experts to grasp in one slide - tall order I know!

@miriamlyons @GriffithSaul Bottom right part of the bottom Sankey diagram here (from Otherlab) might be useful - at least highlights the amount of thermal energy losses in current system (that would be largely eliminated) otherlab.com/blog-posts/the…
