25.01.2022 As thermal coal faces its demise with the rise of renewable energy generation, coking coal is also in the cross hairs with the development of carbon free steel making Stranded assets anyone? Time to transition dependent workers & communities off coal NOW! https://www.afr.com//china-s-biggest-steel-maker-explores-
24.01.2022 And Tasmania is currently under a Liberal Government,.. Here's hoping some of their renewable energy vision and ambition rubs off on their federal counterparts https://reneweconomy.com.au/tasmania-sets-world-leading-ta/
24.01.2022 The AEMO maps (possible) path to 94% renewable energy as 'world’s fastest energy transition' NB fastest change that accords with climate science & Paris targets of 1.5C, delivers the biggest benefits $40 billion. Meanwhile our federal leader and the minister for energy court a 'gas lead recovery' - vested interests operating against both our climate and economic future - Time to consign these recalcitrants to history's dust bin!! #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://reneweconomy.com.au/worlds-fastest-energy-transiti/
21.01.2022 Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) development is the path to Australia's prosperity and a viable climate future. Independents CAN provide the political vehicle to champion it's delivery
20.01.2022 Time for a 'Blue Energy' revolution? For a nation 'girt by sea',.. easy to believe that coastal infrastructure harnessing tide and wave energy could fulfill some of our clean energy generation or even storage needs? #Renewables https://oilprice.com//How-Ocean-Power-Could-Reignite-The-R
20.01.2022 Remember the climate emergency? It's past time we acted like we were in one!! "If the new models turn out to be right, there is no way we can adapt to the catastrophic level of warming projected for a country like Australia" #ClimateEmergency https://www.themonthly.com.au//jo-l/witnessing-unthinkable?
19.01.2022 The Reserve Bank of Australia sees the economic sense in using post-COVID stimulus spending to hasten the transition to a Zero Emissions Economy. Will our Government? Possibly not until the cross benches of our national parliaments are filled with members committed to tackling climate change and a safe and prosperous future for Australia https://www.theguardian.com//australias-reserve-bank-fuels
17.01.2022 Hats off to Australian science and tech researchers, still world leaders. Imagine what we could do if we had a federal government that help lead investment in Australian innovation and renewable energy generation https://reneweconomy.com.au/australian-researchers-pass-ma/
15.01.2022 What does it tell you about our government when they believe the climate science enough to be planning military capacity to 'manage' the citizenry but continue to promote the fossil fuel industry creating the problem emissions including a 'gas lead' post COVID recovery?? Our system of government is imperilling our future! Only Independents CAN restore our democracy and deliver Climate Action Now!! https://www.michaelwest.com.au/government-wants-military-r/
15.01.2022 We can so do this!! As an aquatic ecologist I'm confident numerous pumped storage sites can be established without significant impact to aquatic ecosystems, all the while helping to head off climate impacts that are an unfolding crisis for Australia's freshwater biodiversity https://reneweconomy.com.au/off-river-pumped-hydro-could-p/
15.01.2022 This could be the first of many multi billion $ renewable energy export projects if we had a Federal Government genuinely committed to Australia's prosperity and climate future instead of fossil fuel industry sponsors #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://reneweconomy.com.au/sun-cables-massive-10gw-solar-/
14.01.2022 This is what a real coalition of diverse Australian interest groups identifies as the genuine opportunity for Australia's post-COVID economic recovery and future prosperity. Scott Morrison would do better to listen to them than his overpaid fossil fuel crony lead commission https://www.theguardian.com//australian-government-urged-t
13.01.2022 The IEA 'the world’s gold standard for energy analysis' show economic recovery targeting green jobs more effective than pouring money into the high-carbon economy. Scomo-Albo aren't up to it, we need a climate committed cross-bench #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://www.theguardian.com//world-has-six-months-to-avert
11.01.2022 Follow the science & Act!! - like we did for COVID. Arctic circle 6-10 degree C temp anomalies above the 1980-2010 average is equivalent to overflowing ICU beds in other nations during the global pandemic kickoff #ClimateEmergency https://www.theguardian.com//climate-crisis-alarm-at-recor
09.01.2022 A climate emergency who would of thought? It is increasingly clear that neither of the major parties will ever serve the majority of Australians who are climate concerned and want a viable future. We need a third alternative in Australian politics. We need a party that follows the science and engenders collaboration across the political spectrum to deliver effective policy action on the greatest threat facing Australia's and humanity's future. We need to elect Independents for Climate Action Now to form a climate committed cross bench in Australian parliaments. https://reneweconomy.com.au/albanese-ducks-and-weaves-on-t/
09.01.2022 Does the COVID emergency provide us with insights as to how to transition from the 'great disruption' to build societal and ecological resilience to the even greater climate crisis that is also emerging exponentially? I think so,.. #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://reneweconomy.com.au/2020-when-the-great-disruption/
08.01.2022 'Failure to follow the science?' Need to flatten the curve!' Sound familiar?? Without underplaying the severity of the COVID19 Pandemic, those of us concerned about the climate crisis can't help but feel a bit of 'emergency envy' with regard to the seriousness leaders are finally adopting in their response to it. Can we use the current situation to step up our ambition to tackle climate change? The answer is YES!! https://reneweconomy.com.au/covid-and-climate-can-morrison/
08.01.2022 Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on winning #Election2020 It brings blood rushing back to hearts numbed by despair. Beyond hope, the path to #ClimateAction can now be realised. Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Anthony Albanese show us your #ZeroEmissionStimulus ?
08.01.2022 Our future is imperilled by the failure of government to represent the genuine interests of the people. Community endorsed Independents CAN undo partisan and vested interest politics and restore representative democracy that delivers Climate Action Now! "Scientists have found evidence that frozen methane deposits in the Arctic Ocean known as the sleeping giants of the carbon cycle have started to be released over a large area of the continental slope off the East Siberian coast" https://www.theguardian.com//sleeping-giant-arctic-methane
06.01.2022 Hats off to wind farm company Acciona. While indications are that we are on the verge of a global recession they committ $2 Billion dollars to build Australia's largest wind farm in Qld creating 400 jobs and generating some $500 million in local spending at a time when some economic and employment optimism is sorely needed. This is an example of the opportunities and positive narrative that can be created if Australia chooses to fully invest in a renewable energy future #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://www.acciona.com.au//acciona-to-build-a-1-026-mw-wi
06.01.2022 Respect the wisdom of our elders. Former Liberal Party Leader John Hewson makes a strong case for a post-COVID pandemic transition to low carbon emissions economy #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://reneweconomy.com.au/sorry-to-disappoint-climate-d/
06.01.2022 Imagine investing in the electricity transmission and storage infrastructure needed to create Australia's 100%+ renewable energy future as part of post COVID economic stimulus spending. Congratulations Genex for leading by example #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://reneweconomy.com.au/jemalong-solar-farm-commences-/
03.01.2022 Some great news reported in the Australian (no less ) - assets managed in accordance with responsible investment principles (Environmental, Social and Governance AKA ESG) now represent 44 per cent of Australia’s total $2.25 trillion assets under management (AUM) and 72 per cent of New Zealand’s total $NZ261.4bn ($244bn) AUM and "modelling shows that there doesn’t need to be a trade-off between jobs and growth versus action on climate change. Indeed, a green-led recovery will set Australia up for the future, and create new and relevant job opportunities" - who would of thought ;) #ZeroEmissionStimulus https://www.theaustralian.com.au//57978902a846a26298d5c0b3
03.01.2022 Who will confront the comfort of climate DELUSION?? "To fail to emotionally respond to a level of destruction that will be felt throughout the ages feels like sociopathic disregard for all life on Earth" - Independents CAN https://www.theguardian.com//the-great-unravelling-i-never?
03.01.2022 While those with the safe & prosperous future of Australians at heart argue convincingly for a #ZeroEmissionStimulus program post-COVID it would seem the fossil fuel industry has placed itself within Government for a dirty 'back to the future' https://www.michaelwest.com.au/covert-19-government-stacks/
02.01.2022 There is no "EmissionsLite" for climate policy. Winning slowly against climate change is still losing. We meet the science or we imperil our future. Following the US #Election2020 it's time for greater ambition Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Anthony Albanese to reach #NetZero What say ye for 2030 targets? https://www.theguardian.com//support-a-science-oath-for-th
