New interactive map shows how flammable your part of Australia is right now
As Australia faces longer, more erratic fire seasons, tools like this may prove essential for staying one step ahead of the flames.

I just want to make sure... You do know renewables are just one part of the fix right?
Like agriculture, deforestation, plastics, pollution, landfill, soil degradation, urban heat effect from infill, ocean acidification/coral bleaching/algal bloom...
There's quite a big list.

“The reason it is happening is a profound surge of renewable energy generation in the country. In October, for the first time ever, clean energy trumped fossil fuels in supplying electricity to homes and businesses on the eastern seaboard”

The wind blows, yet turbines lie still. It's a symptom of Australia's renewables glut
Mountains of clean power are regularly "wasted" as Australia's energy system evolves. But a large amount of battery storage is waiting in the wings, ready to soak it up.
