Angus Taylor’s 2020 emissions report: pro gas, anti wind and very weird
More gas, less wind and less big solar: The electricity numbers in Taylor’s emissions roadmap make no sense. But that’s not the only weird part of this report.
Angus Taylor hails latest emissions projections, but it’s bad news for wind and solar
Taylor says Technology Roadmap will deliver cuts needed to hit 2030 emissions target – but the projections predict doom for large-scale wind and solar investment.
At this weekend’s climate summit, no one will be perfect but Australia will be awful
While Australia scrambles to get a speaking slot at the UK’s climate summit, its government prepares to paint a falsely rosy picture of climate progress.
Evie Networks cuts time-based EV charging, calls for energy tariff reform
Ultra-fast charging network provider Evie Networks drops time-based charging, but lifts the kWh charge at its network of charging stations.
Do no harm? How Australia’s regulators fumbled the transition to wind and solar
The “do no harm” connection rules introduced a few years ago have had the opposite effect – increasing costs, delays and creating more problems. The industry wants them changed.
Western Australia could wreck state-based climate action if it doesn’t step up
The state-based race is on, but Western Australia is setting itself up to be a major laggard without stronger action.
Battery storage is challenging the very structure of Australia’s energy market
Battery storage is emerging as a technology “no brainer”, but it is creating headaches for regulators trying to decide who can own and operate them.
Angus Taylor’s EV and transport plan will present false narrative on “choice”
The Australian government’s upcoming EV transport strategy will probably be more of the same: vague tech investments instead of real, consumer-focused change.
Hidden secrets that Angus Taylor tried to bury in Australia’s latest emissions data
A sugar hit of COVID-affected transport, growing renewables and suspicious revisions – all the hidden bits in Australia’s new emissions data.
