An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

That's interesting. I keep hearing "we need gas for the transition" but never understood, guess I was right and it was just gas companies lobbying the public.

It's just another attempt to slow down renewables by taking up all the funding doing something else. It doesn't need to be useful or practical, so long as it drains the carbon reduction budget.
