Western Australia grid was 55% wind and solar in October and probably more in November.

It is also an "isolated grid" like ERCOT in Texas.

Batteries are boosting wind and solar integration and decarbonization progress in the Western Australia grid.

Good morning with good news: "Battery pack prices for stationary storage fell to $70/kWh in 2025, 45% lower than in 2024," reports BNEF.

45% down in 2025, after ~40% down in 2024!

Wow!

Big Oil company Energy Transfer is all of our neighbors. Their long history of spills, explosions, emissions, and safety violations proves that they’re harming communities.

And last week I documented even more pollution blasting from Energy Transfer facilities.

Here's another blowdown at the Energy Transfer Compressor Station 176.

In all my years for documenting pollution I can honestly say that in my opinion Energy Transfer is the worst.
