Last Saturday, on the way back from a mission to the northern #Gaza and after a @WHO-led convoy got clearance and crossed the coast road checkpoint, the convoy encountered two Israeli tanks. Shots were fired from the tanks near the convoy. Luckily nobody was hurt. This is unacceptable.

More coal, less power storage, less grid capacity & power companies refusing to sell power cheap = more wastage. Time to catch up, Australia! @solarcitizens @CCL_Aus @Yes2Renewables @100renew @Anna98831 @ThingsWind abc.net.au/news/2024-09-08/r…

Australia is 'wasting' record amounts of green energy. Here's why experts say it's a good thing

As Australia's electricity system gets cleaner, it is encountering a strange problem. More renewable energy is having to be wasted.

Deep sea mining company claiming they are just ‘picking up rocks’ from the sea bed. Srsly! Like skipping through the meadow picking a few wildflowers. Naaaw, bless! @OurOcean @FightforTuvalu @saveourseas @seasave abc.net.au/news/2024-08-02/i…

A high-stakes vote could decide the future of deep-sea mining

Mining companies hope to begin mining the sea floor for valuable metals soon — upping the stakes at a vote for the top role at the international regulator.

Half of the threatened plants & animals in NSW are on course to become extinct within 100 years. The Minns govt is wringing its hands over the biodiversity crisis. So WHY keep logging native forest at a significant loss?? @forestsforlife theguardian.com/environment/…
