AFAICT this is a very real looming problem, yet our cretinous AusPol lack-of-leadership bullshit shemozzle is either exacerbating this, or at the very least, not helping. Eg... each time i begin again to ponder if i could possibly overcome my personal demons to fully electrify my home [ie, endure all the intensive peopling needed] when our gas prices rise [ie, increasing the economic desire to convert], what happens? Yep, our fucken electricity prices rise as well, thus reducing or eliminating the economic incentive.

Ofc all the climate, & moral, reasons remain to more than justify converting, but so far, w/o also the strong economic reasons, my demons keep winning the day. For normal, non-me, peeps, sans my demons, the confused economic signals alone prolly entirely prevent them converting.

Fuckheads, our govt. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Moving backwards. 🤦‍♂️

“The company said it will begin production of gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks at its Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan, in early 2027. Orion Assembly was previously slated to build electric trucks starting next year.”

Spectacular bit of Elbow gaslighting!

"The environment minister had to deal with the North West Shelf project under the existing EPBC Act, that we did try to change in the last election," he said.

This is a weird headline...

We can stop Labor wrecking Murujuga, climate

...considering that afaict the actual article itself provides no reason for optimism at all. IMO, given we have state & federal Labor governments so completely in thrall to the fossil fools, & who have repeatedly proven they happily ignore science & First Nations, i see no reason to hope here.

Green Left · We can stop Labor wrecking Murujuga, climateLabor’s decision to extend Woodside’s North West Shelf sends a clear signal to the gas industry that it will not let the concerns of scientists, Traditional Owners and ordinary working people stand in the way of corporate profits, argues Maz Misiewicz.

I happen to be of that particular genre of Stupid that thinks if one is claiming to be serious about climate, environment, & biodiversity protection & enhancement, such that one claims to be forming policy for it, then precisely none of the entities historically & currently doing all the fucking over of those things, gets to sit at the decision table. Instead, they simply get told afterwards that the rules of the game have changed, & all their fucking over shall immediately cease, otherwise it's the Big House for them. I'd prolly also include some appendix formally noting all these entities are fuckheads who can just fuck off.
