Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100.0% RE Last 270 weeks: 98.5% RE (1/5)

40 years ago today, Kate released her thrilling single, Experiment IV, from her then upcoming 1986 greatest hits package, The Whole Story. Look out for more on Kate's very busy Autumn and Winter of 1986 in the next episode of the Kate Bush Fan Podcast coming very soon!

Join the call for Australia’s media companies to stand together by refusing to cover One Nation events until the access issue is resolved. Media companies should be insisting that One Nation accepts the attendance of ALL accredited journalists, not just the ones it perceives as unquestioning or supportive. We need a robust liberal democracy ... not a Trumpian perversion. abcfriends.au/actions/boycot…

Open Letter: Boycott One Nation press conferences - ABC Friends

One Nation has banned the ABC and The Guardian from its press conferences. In a democracy the public has a right to know what their political representatives

Dear mainstream news media Repeating is NOT reporting. "Pauline Hanson said ..." is NOT journalism. Allowing One Nation to make verifiably false or misleading assertions is irresponsible. Don't blindly repeat lies. Call them out: "Today, ON falsely claimed..." #auspol #journalism

Australian police are rolling out Cellebrite's Israeli phone cracking software, and now another Israeli tech firm has turned online ads against our agencies. We need an urgent review of all surveillance companies operating here and the risks they pose to privacy and public data.

Trump's Pentagon is planning to livestream an execution on 3 December, and Australia has no law to keep it off our screens. I just signed this petition to Albanese – it takes 10 seconds. act.getup.org.au/s/CJFNmbx3

Stop the livestreamed firing squad!

The problem remains, they have much deeper pockets still then the rest of us. reneweconomy.com.au/anti-ren…

Anti-renewables groups still spending big on Meta – and met with near silence by green energy...

Fossil fuel interests spent $1.2 million on Meta ads in the last three months, a wall of money the renewables industry met with near silence.

Do you recognise this man? Perhaps you work with him, perhaps you cut his hair or perhaps he is your neighbour. Owner is offering a reward for info leading to his arrest. Video recorded by 2 cars parked side by side, Mayfield MEX carpark 7:58pm Thursday October 8th. Police are involved, obviously. The car was parked for 2 hours prior to being KNIFED. Completely random. Approved to reshare here/Matt B-rke/Facebook. Share any tips to me here and I’ll pass onto the owner.
