    “Too complex, too hard, too often unfair:” Plan to reform electricity pricing backs contentious tariff changes

    AEMC pushes ahead with a hotly contested recommendation to reform how network costs are recovered from customers, while opting to put dodgy retailer behaviour to the sunlight test, rather than banning it.

    Australian scientists raise “serious concerns” over soil carbon offsets for fossil fuels

    Scientists say soil carbon projects are overblown by as much as 10 times, which risks the accuracy of Australia’s greenhouse gas inventory.

    We must not let big emitters greenwash their emissions with renewables free kick

    We can’t afford to give free kicks to heavy emitters, especially when Australia needs all the help it can get to reach 82% renewables by 2030.
