Get your sunlight fresh not fossilised it's better for you, and the kids.
All particulates do damage
Particulates can be deadly to those of us that breathe air
Especially inside your home
Silent but deadly

China traditional factory mix shrinking
PMIs overweight legacy sectors and underweight rapid expansion in EVs, batteries, solar, grid equipment, power electronics, services, and digital industries that increasingly drive value add, missing much of economy’s shift up value chain

In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO…
As i said, budgets are about priorities #climate

Do you think enough factories in your country have made the leap and will enjoy the cost savings China's will?
Solar: Tongwei Sichuan site makes 50GW panels/year with 95% renewables
Wind: Goldwind Beijing plant runs 85% renewables, makes 10GW turbines/y
Batteries: CATL Ningde gigafactory 100% RE makes 500GWh batteries/y
EVs): BYD plants ~90% renewables, makes 3M EVs/y
Making solar without fossil fuels
JinkoSolar, world's largest solar panel maker, has solar PV power generation systems on roofs of its factories
Now 100% renewable electricity-powered

Many other clean tech majors do the same - like Sungrow and Tesla

~5.1M (48%) Aus homes on mains gas
Space/water heaters + cooking total about 12.2M units
That's changing: Australians are passing gas 🙄
Induction cooktops
And heat pumps water heaters, too

My vehicle is so big, I shouldn't have to wait like normal cars
(Note the bonnet of the 4WD is as high as the passenger car's roof)
Now imagine the possibility there was a small child or a dog standing there the driver didn't see
Why aren’t we using it?

Advanced driver assist only works if ADA switched on
Most drivers opt to leave it switched off!
I say mandate ADA permanently on
Also ANCAP ought assess difference when ADA on vs off!

Trend LNP polled support is now the lowest on record. It's also well below the long election results downtrend, but not yet remarkably so.
One Nation polled support is well above trend, and headed higher.

I especially care about scams sent to my 94yo dad living independently
He's an honest man who's learnt not to trust any message from an unrecognised number, even if it looks like Auspost
