Solar panels with a red tone which blends much better with the traditional red tile roof.
-Might not be as efficient, however if it greatly assists solar PV uptake, who cares ?
-Is this available in Aus ?

Words have had no effect.
Sanctions now. Travel restrictions - against all members of the government and IDF, and their families. Freeze assets and all trade. Kick out diplomats. Enforce ICC findings. Pressure Israel’s active supporters. Anything but this.
Australia strongly rejects Israel's plan to seize Gaza City
The foreign ministers of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and the United Kingdom say this decision will "risk violating international humanitarian law".

China is on track to become the world’s first major “electrostate,” with its electrification rate reaching 30 percent.

This puts China ahead of both the EU and the US, where the proportion of electricity in total energy use has remained steady at about 22 percent in recent years.

She's awfully quiet about it at the moment (polls bad, Senator?) but Liberal Michaelia Cash can't wait to bring Trump/Musk's unique blend of slash-and-burn chaos here.

This is what Dutton and Cash want for us, #Sturt voters ... no matter how tongue-tied they've suddenly become.

Battery energy storage is booming: Over the past three years, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) market has been the fastest-growing segment of global battery demand.

As with EV market, China currently dominates global BESS deployments accounting for approximately 2/3 of installed capacity.

I hate to say this, but I could not give a single shit about Zuckerberg's decision to get rid of fact checkers.

Every time I go on Threads or Facebook I get served some of the most absolute dogshit, completely made up stories. It's been like that for at least two years. How can it get worse?
