🧵The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) is a conference org based in the UK that is Christian Nationalist: it wants their version of God’s law running your government. It’s also fossil fuel sector money. Who are these #Auspol figures on the Advisory Board alongside?

Anything to rent in Mornington Peninsula for an 80 year old? #auspol
The property I'm renting has been sold & I have to vacate by March 5, but I haven't been able to find a new property. The prospect of being homeless at 80 terrifies me. I am focussing on the Mornington Peninsula, but am willing to consider just about anywhere. If you are aware of something DM me.

Nuclear is a waste of money, resources and time. California has demonstrated that a major economy can decarbonize with no need for what is an expensive boondoggle imo.

California grid electricity demand continues to decline despite 2.5 million EVs and lots of data centers in the state
2026 Demand on CAISO grid down 1.84% v '25; 1.22% v '24; and 2.27% v '23
Due to growth in behind-the-meter roof PV, which eliminates need for grid electricity
