Excellent report from the Grattan Institute recommending a modifed Safeguard mechanism be applied to electricity.
Related to this, it's worth noting that ACCUs are currently trading for $38 while just $11 for LGCs. I'd argue that LGCs offer better quality carbon offset for less than 1/3 price

💡 Cheaper energy bills AND reduced emissions?

Our new report finds that Australian household energy bills are set to halve by 2050, leaving room for the federal gov't to cut emissions in the electricity sector without hurting households.

Here’s how: buff.ly/9UPN4ub

Intrepid Travel is the latest company to back away from carbon offsets in its climate action plan.

It’s been proven time and time again that a significant percentage of carbon offset programs lead to ZERO reduction in real emissions.

How "green" is JetBlue & Southwest Airlines' biofuel really? Our latest Substack explores an investigation into supposedly "sustainable" jet fuel – produced by Texas-based Diamond Green Diesel – that's made with beef fat from cattle grazed illegally in the #Amazon rainforest.

Biofuels are a bad climate solution and a huge waste of land, food and millions in subsidies. Burning crops for fuel only pushes us further away from our climate goals.

But biofuel production is only growing across the planet.

Think we need the @australiainstitute.org.au on the case with Australian biofuel plans expanding 🤦🏻🚨 @pollyjhemming.bsky.social

NEW: Biofuels globally emit more than the fossil fuels they replace, our latest study shows.

The first-of-a-kind study looks at global biofuels production today and the potential impacts of government biofuel targets.

Listening to @abcnews radio news on the release of "Israeli hostages" and "Palestinian prisoners" and the "end of the war" and I'm really sick to death of this whitewashed pro-Israel biased shit that is genocide denial and dehumanizes Palestinians. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

In May 2025, the Israeli Defense Ministry said since October 2023 the United States had delivered ninety thousand tons of arms and equipment.

78% of Israel’s arms are from the US.

The US celebrating a peace deal is really not very funny.
Chart. 78% of Israel’s arms are from the US

“Corrupt” doesn’t cut it anymore. Too Trump normalised.

Yeah well there is as much likelihood of cattle farmers reducing methane as these is a coal company reducing methane. None. Hopefully this just helps shift people away from eating animal ag products.

That document is one for the history books. It pretty much lays out all the reasons not to proceed.

Miners to get an early look at Labor’s new green laws

The Albanese government will give mining companies and other stakeholders draft extracts of its environmental protection laws before they go to parliament, as Environment Minister Murray Watt tries to rebuild trust after earlier negotiations on the reforms collapsed in acrimony.

"... over two thirds of all [US] nitrogen fertilizer applications are for corn" 😵

And around 40% of the corn is for biofuel.

Crop-based biofuel is just the worst idea ever, climate-wise.

We need to talk much more about corn. And with it, excessive fertilizer use.

Today, the equivalent of 100 mn bottles of vegetable oil are burned in cars every day, meaning a fifth of all vegetable oil is never even used for food.

By 2030, biofuels crops will require land the size of France, which would make it the 6th largest country in terms of arable land use globally.
