Today’s @TheNewDailyAu column on the floods. It’s simple: the more money the government spends, the more insurance will be available and the less it will cost. The less it spends, the more towns will have to be abandoned.

Largest coal power plant Eraring to close early
Coal power is high polluting, uneconomic and unreliable
Three more coal plants notified of earlier closures in the last 12mths
So why is there no national roadmap?
My piece for @TheNewDailyAu #auspol

Since reading #Superpower a couple of years back, I’ve always thought we had the opportunity to become the new “UAE of energy generation”. Instead of oil, we produce renewable power. And it’s not a transition, it’s a disruption. It’ll be here this decade.

If we did that 100 times, I’m not sure we could have got that any closer.

Ever wondered how Scott Morrison plans to put decades of inaction and denial behind himself and convince the electorate he suddenly cares about climate action? It’s with bilge like this piece of propaganda. What a disgrace. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Britain's Prince William has taken a thinly veiled swipe at the billionaires embroiled in a space tourism race, saying the world's greatest brains should instead be focused on solving the environmental problems facing the Earth reut.rs/3oVU52a

What happened to charting our own course?
“The modelling is unequivocal: the Australian government thinking we can keep exporting fossil fuels and other emissions-intensive products to the rest of the world without penalty is a negligent fantasy”

"Angus [Taylor] and I have had a chat and I've agreed not to say carbon capture and storage fails 19/20 times to compromise. I've agreed to say it fails at least 9/10 times. I wouldn't be banking our kids future on a proven failure."

The forecast for #renewables, and why those health arguments about #windfarms don’t stack up. #MissionZero @kanethornton @dailytelegraph google.com.au/amp/s/www.dail…

🧵$7.5 Billion Kemper 'Clean Coal' carbon capture and storage plant never worked. They blew parts of it up last week. #FossilFuel corporations are still claiming #CCS will make dirty fossil fuels into climate solutions. Cheaply.

"Perceived" vs actual GDP + employment from coal mining, in Australia.
This is why fossil fuel companies hire lobbyists and PR firms.
