The energy rebates have stopped, but the cost of fossil fuels keeps electricity prices rising

Electricity price were the biggest reasons for the unexpected jump in the inflation numbers out this week.

There's report that Australia's largest aluminum smelter might close because of energy prices. As I write, when you hear about high energy prices, you are talking about the impact of Australian gas exports. #ThePoint

Factcheck: Triggering the coal lobby

The coal lobby in Queensland didn’t like our Revenue Summit yesterday, which showed how much more money could be raised from coal companies.

They were so upset, they even got their facts wrong! #ThePoint #auspol

I ❤️ Harry Nilsson & the movie The Point (ThePoint! album (his 6th) was released in late 1970 & was accompanied by an animated film adaptation which aired in 1971 featuring his music& narrated by Dustin Hoffman & later Ringo Starr). It's a sweet, wonderful film. Nilsson died at 52 from a heart attack

Went to #ThePoint for dinner in DC. Did not know there was both ML soccer and ML baseball at the respective stadiums on the other side of the restaurant. After four Ubers canceled on us, we hiked out almost almost a mile including through construction area in which I damaged my boots.
