Yes there were just sitting in the corner twiddling their thumbs. Absrud.

The Vic Parliament is holding an inquiry into Renewables for Apartments. This is a great opportunity to expand access to solar for all. In FoE's submission, we're calling on Vic to prioritise energy justice, create an SEC-Virtual Power Plant + a Solar Garden pilot www.melbournefoe.org.au/submissions
The scourge of long distance anti-clean tech submissions continues
a chart showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions being above the 43% target, and probably going to be above the 62% by 2035 target as well
* a chart showing that greenhouse gas emissions for both Anthony Albanese's first fourteen quarters and Scott Morrison's first 15 quarters have been pretty much roughly the same
- Australia's emissions continue to trend well above the trajectory towards the 2030 target of a 43% reduction (including unreliable land-use data)
- Albanese is 1 quarter away from matching Scott Morrison's tenure; fossil emissions have remained pretty much the same (this excludes land-use data)
The First Nations Clean Energy Network has released a new guide designed to support First Nations communities review their participation in clean energy projects.

There is a massive pipeline of renewable energy projects ready to be built. But Australia is still lagging on building them at the speed and scale needed to get climate change under control reneweconomy.com.au/australias-r...
Strikes on Iran show why ending oil dependence is more important than ever. Shifting to renewables and EVs are the key. theconversation.com/the-strikes-...
The United Workers Union warns most Australian nursing homes don't have realistic evacuation plans for bushfires after Victorian fires recently came close to a Natimuk residential care facility. This is worrying as we know climate change is driving worsening fire seasons.
The war on Iran likely brings a new oil price shock and windfall profits.
So, who stands to win?
Our research shows: Last time around (2022), the US reaped the largest fossil fuel profits of any country ($377bn). 50% went to the top 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵
By me: Today marks 10 years since the assassination of Indigenous environmentalist Berta Cáceres, a rare leader whose death marked a before and after for many including me. Despite some justice, the extractive economic model and its criminal modus operandi continues apace.

This conflict is likely to drive global gas prices through the roof.
Because the Australian Government gives most of our the gas to Big Gas exporters for free, and the PRRT is broken, Big Gas will make massive windfall profits and Australians will get virtually nothing.
There are many towns throughout Australia that would love to build their own community batteries. Wild that the Narrabri council willingly killed this off by spreading misinformation www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
Good story on responsible use of AI at a Victorian wind farm site to help with early bushfire detection in the Strzelecki Ranges

Global arms race is hindering action on climate change as critical minerals used for weapons not energy transition www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
Shameful response from Albanese. You can't bomb people into freedom.

Very happy to see the federal government launching consultation into how we get wind manufacturing back up and running
(ICYMI we already did this and successive failures are making it harder) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
Good morning.
If you've just woken up, the politics of hope just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform).
It wasn't even close.
40.6% for the Greens. Reform second on 28.7%, Labour third on 25.4%.
ABC is writing sponcon for Iranian monarchists now? Seriously bizarre

Big respect to John Grimes, the SEC has been a critical voice for renewable energy over the past two decades. reneweconomy.com.au/legend-of-au...

📢 Most journalist deaths last year were from armed conflict, making it the second consecutive record-breaking year for fatalities.
Australia Institute research shows a 25% gas export tax could raise $17 billion a year, cutting energy bills and funding healthcare and education.
Meanwhile, Aussies pay more tax on beer than the gas industry pays on exports.

NEW REPORT: ⚡⚡ Power bills in Australia have become a real struggle for families and businesses, with many forced to choose between basics like food, rent and electricity.
The question is whether we act quickly to switch or keep paying more for a broken system. Head to our 🔗 in bio to find out.
There are now 30 and counting First Nations clean energy partnerships in Australia with First Nations involvement, ownership and equity, some that are community-led, most yet to be operational.

Scoop: Australian company Appen is hiring gig workers to unknowingly train AI for US spy planes.
In some cases, workers are providing data to a military carrying out air strikes in their home countries.

⚡️ The data centres needed to power the govt's AI revolution would use more electricity than the UK consumes at peak.
According to Ofgem, around 140 sites are seeking grid connections totalling 50GW (vs 45GW today), a surge MPs warn could put Britain’s climate targets at risk.
