Graph of the day: Narrabri gas field will wipe out most renewable emissions cuts
The NSW renewable energy plans could massively reduce emissions, but a federally-approved gas mine could cancel out at least half of that.
German wind report shows “repowering” wind turbines could double output by 2030
Upgrades to old German turbines could see a massive expansion of output without building in a single new spot
Morrison’s infuriating climate pledge: We’ll only cheat if we need to
Australia’s next big emissions projections are due soon. Renewables will do the heavy lifting, but how will the gap to Paris be filled?
Graph of the day: Gas is not so needed in UK’s power plan

Victoria’s human-focused climate action fills a gap in post-COVID policymaking
It is a relief to see state-based climate plans beginning to solidify into real policy action – plans that actually lower emissions, while putting ‘guard rails’ around the growth of energy technologies.
Could Australia adopt a UK-style conservative position on climate?
Could Australia’s conservative federal government replicate the UK’s slowly-increasing climate ambitions? One key problem needs to be solved first.
