jfc, 7.8 tonnes of methane an hour! Roughly the same as the grid emissions for half a million homes.

Any Aussie energy folks heading to All Energy expo this week? We can hang out, pretend to be procuring for a large data centre provider, maybe get a free pen and a beer

For decades we were told that this plant could exist because “carbon capture and storage” was going to sequester carbon in bedrock — Dear Reader, they told that lie so they could sell gas.

We're being taken for chumps. Again. I'm sure the country's so-called leaders are up to the task. What was that Donald Horne quote, again?

New record (..that probably won't last long): 80.4% instaneous penetration of RE in the NEM over the weekend. More than half it coming from behind the meter (..rooftop solar) 🔌💡 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

St Albans Evie fast chargers have the goods: - 6 bays - All CCS (sorry Leaf owners) - El Jannah

BREAKING: BYD Automotive Australia has slashed the price of the 2026 Atto 1 Essential. It's now $19990 Drive Away. Thats up to a $7000 saving and is now the cheapest new car in Oz. Have we hit price parity yet? www.drive.com.au/news/2026-by...

I'm sorry but the Anthropic whistleblower is like 27. I cannot accept AI doomsday predictions from someone younger than Clippy.

"This 𝑖𝑠 the work" Spoke with @reneweconomy.com.au the other day about the ongoing underinvestment by the renewable industry in public comms and engagement. To thr detriment of the entire sector.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

Unlike that of the rest of southeast Asia, Pakistan's gas demand has been falling. Pakistan's solar boom is partly attributable to excellent do-it-yourself videos on Tiktok and youtube, and partly to two other factors, says Zainaab Basil in an interview with BNEF. www.bnef.com/insights/40017

It's been 1yr since I installed a Grant HP290 heat pump and @newarkcylinders.bsky.social in my house! 🏠 Space heating SCOP 4.8 🚿 DHW SCOP 4.3 📊 Combined SCOP 4.7 💰 Running cost on Agile with battery: £567/yr 🛢️ Previous oil boiler would cost £2k to deliver same heat (72% saving)

People with asthma got better when they replaced their gas stove with electric. “Our improvement was about twice as much as you typically see with medical treatment of asthma,” www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Lazy web request: I recall a mention of an Australian gas company running an internal staff training program alongside the lines of "fossil fuels are fine, actually". Anyone know more?

"Honest opinion" is the new em dash, stop that shit.

Conventional wisdom says rooftop solar meets **exisiting** electricity demand. What if rooftop solar actually **increases** electricity demand, improving living standards and driving economic growth? This is exactly what our new analysis of Pakistan's solar boom shows. Let's dig in.. 🧵

Attention fellow energy nerds: we're running an "Open-Source Energy System Modelling Workshop" later this year! Looking for contributors - presentations, demonstrations, tutorials, and open discussion on topics relevant to the open-source energy modelling community .. anything really! 🔌💡

Starmer being able to lay out his own departure timetable (potentially over months!) is silly. You don't give a PM a farewell tour, you do the numbers over the weekend, roll him at 10am, and tell the voters he's gone to live on a nice farm in the country. You amateurs. You absolute toddlers.

Shell’s Prelude is a big floating gas terminal located half-way between Broome and Timor. Let me tell you about how repeatedly exposing its workers to life-threatening risk between 2020 and 2023 have led to the facility being issued with $200m worth of entirely unearned offset credits. 🧵

What an incredible image!

. @richarddenniss.bsky.social opens by pointing out that the Japanese govt actually raises more revenue from Australian gas than does the Australian govt! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilVp...

These are solar panels. Holy shit would I pay for this! "We present a new project we are working on, integrating our photovoltaic glass in 'Corten Steel' color. This glass is part of a collection consisting of 17 different colors, achieving power outputs of up to 160 W/m2." - Onyx Solar

New @stand.earth: Microsoft's 3 new gas data centres will - Increase Microsoft's emissions 160% - Have higher emissions than power sectors of each of Greece, Ireland, Sri Lanka, NZ etc... - Have higher emissions than pwr sector of 15 lowest-emitting countries combined stand.earth/press-releas...

Whoever does brand management for LEGO must be having a very bad month.

And I am so, so, so angry at the stupid culture wars and deliberate blocks put in place to the nation being able to have energy sovereignty. That any chance we had of transitioning the energy economy was derailed decades ago by fu*kers simping for fossil fuel. Energy security IS national security
