In Australia’s increasingly variable climate, our reliance on energy for comfort, health and well-being is pretty near complete. If you can’t afford to modify your domestic environment, what can you do? Well, modify your domestic enviornment as there are things that you can do that don’t cost much money. We did a project at SECCCA to investigate this.

Solar batteries, well solar and batteries, already makes sense in SA and Qld where power prices are particularly high, but it won’t be long when there’s sense in batteries everywhere. The distribution companies know this and there’re trials and positioning going on now.
Gilles Parkinson has the Murdoch press bang to rights with his RenewEconomy article about the Oz’s duplicity in Saudi billionaires, solar energy and the rorted Australian taxpayer. If you don’t follow RenewEconomy, do yourself a favour and do so.

Burning coal is a deliberate act of arson. Coal kills people. Subsidising coal-mining is costing us a motza. When does any of this start making sense? It never does Malcolm, so show us some leadership or get out of the way to allow someone else to lead.
I googled the headline ‘Climate hysteria hits peak stupid’ to get around the paywall – but I don’t know why I did. The Oz at it again, Chris Mitchell at it again, same, same, same.

Birdwatchers span a range of shapes, sizes and approaches. At one end, you’ll see some in their various shades of Kathmandu merchandise, camouflaged from head to toe in khaki and sensible hats, with $2000 Swarovski or Zeiss binoculars and twitching in their earnestness.

You can find somewhere on the continuum where you’ll fit, so do yourself a favour, take the advice in this handy introduction and I’ll see you out there.
