I don't have much time for fossil fuel advocates
I've lived my life using fossil fuels
A year ago I migrated to an all-electric home/car with at least 75% renewable energy
My bills have dropped 75%
My car is a dream to drive
I'm never regressing to that old expensive life

Migration agents in India advertising jobs and visas for Australia
No wonder young Australians are struggling to find work.
These look like well paid jobs where some quick training gets you going and they are being advertised to Indian migrants.

Applied to Australia means that only 1 bed flats are affordable in certain locations.

Family has $800k mortgage and is now in trouble.
They blame the mortgage but likely broke the 20/3 rule
1. 20% down
2. Income > price / 3
For a $1m home w 20% down, income should be > $333k/yr or you can’t afford to buy and should rent
Don’t break the rule. Not worth it.

Australia’s grid just passed a brutal heatwave stress test. Jan 7, 2026 hit record demand, yet solar surged at peak, batteries carried the evening, and reliability beat 2019. Not more fossil fuels — clean energy scaled. This is modern resilience, and a sign of what’s coming. 🔋⚡

BREAKING:
The Russian Oreshnik IRBM missile flew about 1,800 km in 12-13 minutes, reaching a top speed of over 10 000 km/h before hitting the Lviv region.

Thanks to the Galway Bay Hotel Innsbruck Austria for giving me the microphone last night for a solo acoustic set.
Only 7 songs but my first “international gig”.
So much fun
So personally rewarding.

Wow the NSW grid is really struggling today.
Feed in tariffs are through the roof.
$20.66/kWh is a decent little earner.
I’ve already named $69. More to come.

Australia gun laws do need further tightening.
But this alone is not enough
There are people living amongst us with grievances from distant lands. For a few these grievances inspire deadly violence. By gun. By car. By bomb. By whatever means.
Identify them. Arrest them.

"The average first home buyer can afford to buy only 12 per cent of homes nationally, compared to almost a third of homes five years ago, as dwelling prices rapidly outpace the rate of wage growth." afr.com/property/residential…

When your November electricity bill arrives
With yet another credit
Which adds to your existing total account credit.
To give you an even bigger credit
And the peak of summer is still yet to arrive.

These middle of the day grid wobbles are nice little earners.
Exporting battery and solar together and being paid $20/kWh
Anyone know why the grid is wobbling middle of the day yesterday and today?

When the grid wobbles during the day the cash rolls in
A feed in tariff of $20.66/kWh is nice
It will be short. But it’s still nice.

And how much would a grid spike last 20 mins like that generate with solar and a battery?
And I wasn’t even home.
Thanks @AmberElectricAU

In the Australian property game, investors hold all the cards
High rental income
Write off losses through negative gearing
50% CGT discount when they sell
High price growth
How does an owner-occupier compete with an investor whose risk is effectively underwritten by taxpayers?

When will media start reporting stratospheric housing costs as a crisis. Sucking half of people’s money away to buy a shoebox
THIS is the countries economic and social crisis. Not energy. This.

I’ve been trying FSD in my new Model Y and I’m sorry but I find it dithering in traffic. I’m intervening most drives to save my sanity and the sanity of other drivers waiting for it to make a decision.
But I will say it parks the car brilliantly. I like that part.

When will media damn well start reporting hyper-inflationary housing costs as a negative.
Pushing people into huge unsustainable lifelong debt for a shoe box
Sucking the morrow out of the economy and making bankers and realestate agents rich.

I own a 2025 Model Y in Australia and I'm trying a one month subscription to FSD (Supervised).
Its an extraordinarily capable bit of software the fully self drives the Model Y.
It does seem to drive ultra conservatively like an old grandpa but it feels safer to me than me.
