As much of Australia cranked air conditioners in this week’s oppressive heatwave, solar met 59% of electricity demand between 9am and 6pm.
More than half of this was from small-scale systems spread across about 4 million roofs. The rest was from large-scale solar farms.

It is illegal for Australians to kill birds or animals facing extinction. If you are Korea Zinc, however, you can relax. You are already one of the largest zinc, lead and silver producers in the world, and no such law will prevent your growth.

Young women like Greta Thunberg are mostly focused on long term survival of our species while old men like Donald Trump are mostly focused on short term gains for themselves.
Generalisations don’t apply to everyone - but there is a definite pattern.

In last year’s general election, young women moved to the populist left considerably more than young men moved to the populist right.
Current voting intention polls show these trends not only persisting but becoming more pronounced.

Instead of a huge statue of Prometheus erected by a crypto bro…how about a shrine of remembrance with a video document of people’s stories relating to getting ripped off by crypto exchanges and crypto scams. You could call it “reality check”. All money saved goes to a victim’s fund….
