Western Australia’s grid just hit 100% wind + solar multiple times on Sunday morning.
Batteries soaked up 443 MW of excess while coal/gas idled.

South Korea announced it's going to phase out coal-fired power by 2040, a massive win for the climate.🌏
But you might not know that a few local climate groups in Australia played a part in making this happen!🌱

These LNP stooges should be forced to wear patches indicating who their sponsors are. They don’t give a fig for ordinary Australians or the environment. They want to cook the planet.
The Liberal Party feeling left out & humiliated has held an urgent Press Conference attacking Labor for striking a deal with The Greens on Environmental Laws. They say this is a “dark day for the mining industry.”

More than 100 leaders have signed an open letter calling on the Albanese Government to back the COP30 Mutirão roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.
With over 80 nations already on board, Australia must choose: lead with integrity or fall further behind as the world moves on from coal and gas.
