18.01.2022 Origin Energy is seeking a firm to supply and install what would be one of the world's largest batteries at Eraring Power Station, south of Newcastle. The b...attery's overall capacity would be up to 700 megawatts and have a dispatch duration of four hours, making it the largest battery project currently under consideration in Australia. Looking for a comparison? The Tesla battery in South Australia has a capacity of 150 megawatts. Origin is expected to invest around a billion dollars in the project, assisting its transition away from coal-fired generation by 2032. Pending approvals, the first phase could be operational by late next year.

17.01.2022 Everyone can agree that 2020 has been a year like no other. From the devastating Black Summer bushfires to COVID-19, communities have been hit hard by the past ...12 months. But - despite a lack of climate action from the Federal Government - this year also saw huge progress in climate action at a local, state and international level. We know how much is left to do but, looking back, we also know how much we can achieve. Bring on 2021.

16.01.2022 Today is National Reptile Awareness Day. Godzilla. Reptar. Yoshi. The Geico Gecko. Those two lizards that always hang out around your back porch. These are just... a few of the famous reptiles we love. Today we celebrate all of our cold-blooded friends. This day is observed to educate and raise awareness of threats to the natural habitats that our reptilian companions rely on to survive. HISTORY OF NATIONAL REPTILE AWARENESS DAY While the history of reptiles may go hundreds of millions of years back, National Reptile Awareness Day has an unfortunately short history in comparison. Additionally, it wasn’t really until 1966 when the first Endangered Species Act was passed that awareness of the needs and threats facing reptiles (or any animal, for that matter) started to make its way into our cultural mainstream. With the passing of that act, a mid-century push toward conservation started taking the forefront. Updates were passed in 1967 and 1969. Additionally, in 1967, the Environmental Defense Fund created their historical efforts to ban DDT from usage in the United States. Much of this was movement was sparked by Rachel Carson’s seminal book, Silent Spring, which documented the adverse effects pesticides and other chemicals have on the environment. National Reptile Awareness Day wouldn’t exist without the efforts of that movement. In fact, many reptiles wouldn’t be around today without the help of the Endangered Species Act. While National Reptile Awareness Day may have a small history compared to its subjects, its still part of a historically important movement to help protect and conserve all species of animals.
