Tomorrow the European Parliament will decide whether fossil gas and nuclear will be considered "sustainable" in the EU taxonomy. But no amount of lobbyism and greenwashing will ever make it "green".
We desperately need real renewable energy, not false solutions. #NotMyTaxonomy

In case you might be thinking of joining our global on-line graduate taught programme in the economics of sustainability, let me list some of the planned lecturers for 2023. You might recognise some of the names, which are given in no particular order...

Thread: Each week I’m running a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with just 5 hrs of storage (24 GW / 120 GWh)
Results:
last week: 100% RE
last 64 weeks: 98.9% RE (1/5)

Don't call for policies designed to create unemployment if you don't want to be unemployed yourself. Call for a federal job guarantee to stabilise the economy at full employment across the cycle.

I marked a few PHES sites in the SEN Jobs Report. Got the info directly from Prof Andrew Blakers at ANU and that PHES desktop study i did.
In @SENAustralia Jobs report 2020 I summarised many of the environmental considerations you'd need to make if using degraded Jarrah forest.

what if a big slab of the $3.6 billion the WA Government announced for new renewables and transmission upgrades/new lines was actually so that the public has to bail out the Griffin mine site owners on their mine site remediation and landscape rehabilitation?!
anybody?

It might seem bizarre to a non-economist that the Bank of Sweden Nobel Memorial award for economics has been given to people who wrote a model of banking in which money does not exist.
I will leave it at that.

and @beyondzeronews predicted this before the first LNG train was even completed.

That would be around 20 times the average price before East Coast exports of Liquefied Natural Gas began, and around 8 times the previously expected export parity range. 9/14

exactly, right?
you don’t get points for not committing crimes against other people or defrauding businesses each day. why would large scale polluters or the decades long destroyers of forests get brownie points to offset other horrible pollution and environmental destruction?!

The #TorresStrait8 have won their case against the Australian government, with the UN finding the state violated their right to enjoy their culture and lives, by failing to act on the climate crisis.
The landmark decision found they should be compensated. #OurIslandsOurHome

so important if we want a real climate response from government.
think about the water thefts and misallocation we’ve seen for the last decade. think about billions into corporate coffers for a so-called gas led recovery that benefits a scant few and adds to our climate woes.

The AG has gone quiet & now rumours of a deal between the major parties👇🏼.🤨Aus voters want a strong anti corruption commission, anything less is an insult by ALP & Coalition. The Nacc should be able to investigate 3rd parties incl political donors.#auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…

1) We can build a better, sustainable future
2) We won't if it is business as usual
3) We have to make it happen quickly enough
4) We aren't (remotely) doing this
5) So I admire scientists like Annie Bond - to whom I hope politicians will SOON listen:

more & more & climate scientists are speaking & acting out forcefully. why? what’s in it for them except losing their grant applications and job?
so that politicians stop getting away the con-job of fooling voters into believing they/we don’t have power to end FF use rapidly.

Nearly all the discussion of the impact of higher interest rates on the economy is over-simplistic. Raising rates is not like using the brake in your car - unless you have brakes that often don't work, sometimes become an accelerator & at other times even put the car into reverse

I'm not a brilliant economist or social scientist, unlike the Keltons, Raworths, Keens, Hickels and so many others.
But I am good at changing my mind when I realise I am wrong.
That's what led me to ecological economics and modern monetary theory.
