Does anyone ever mention the HUGE amount of rooftop solar in Australia? More or less free for Energy retailers (miniscule feedin tarifs).

Neo-Nazis: This is a Nazi salute.
Historians: This is a Nazi salute.
Everyone online: This is a Nazi salute.
Journalists: Musk gave a weird wave that's being interpreted in different ways.

Ahh love the "we have a gas shortage" stories.

Nope, foreign gas companies just prefer to sell Australia's gas overseas for more profit.

Chart showing that in 2022-23 4,976PJ of gas was either exported as LNG or used to convert gas to LNG. Meanwhile the projected shortage of gas in the 2030s is around 300PJ.
