With the problems facing these dreamt-up green energy mega-projects, are they more about marketing the dreamer than the green energy? What is Cannon-Brookes view on this, he has skin in …

Off list again, with a reminder that this Maurice Newman, who so approvingly quotes IPA front organisation the Australian Environment Foundation, was appointed by John Howard to Chair of the …

India has just overtaken China as the world’s most populous nation, but with this leadership, we must be concerned. With a 50% target by 2030 for renewables, that leaves a huge hole for fossil fuel generation. With this statement: “Net zero is important, but what is more important is that we ensure enough electricity for our growth”, the Power Minister reckons policy can trump physics.https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/net-zero-is-important-but-we-must-provide-enough-electricity-for-growth-power-minister-rk-singh/100521708?action=profile_completion&utm_source=Mailer&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=etenergy_news_2023-05-27&dt=2023-05-27&em=bWFlbG9yQG1lbGJwYy5vcmcuYXU=

The despair is understandable, the 2 seat House majority indisputable, the crossbench in the Senate workable. If Albo is building for multiple terms in government, he has to neutralise the Newscorp media as he can’t afford to ignore them as he can afford to ignore the irrelevant LNP. We’d like to see some green shoots though. From strengthening the EPBC Act, stopping the Toondah Marina development in a Ramsar Wetland and putting the kybosh on the Betaloo Basin, there’re a few quick wins to gladden the progressive heart.https://www.themonthly.com.au/the-politics/rachel-withers/2023/05/22/year-wishful-thinking

Ian Lowe invariably makes sense. Perhaps the soundest indicator that the ‘second-rate people’ of the lucky country have largely become silly people is that Howard, Abbott and Morrison found electoral …
