Something that's been bugging me about the Presidential Debate is that there was this long exchange about renewables (Solar/ Wind) versus Fossil (Oil/ Gas) and neither candidate went, "Wait, eighty years ago we figured out how to make one of the four fundamental forces of the universe our bitch, why not just go with that and build nuclear plants; until we literally harness a star's power in a decade or so?" #PresidentialDebate #Renewables #FossilFuel #NuclearPower #Fission #Fusion

🌐⚛️ The CSIRO is reconsidering its estimates on the cost of nuclear power after feedback from federal opposition and other proponents. Initially estimating nuclear to be twice as costly as firmed renewables, the CSIRO is now open to revising these figures. This debate comes ahead of the first hearing into the Coalition’s nuclear policy, where key stakeholders, including the CSIRO, will provide their insights. Stay tuned for more on this critical energy discussion. Read more: https://ow.ly/MwwJ50TScSv? #NuclearEnergy #Renewables #EnergyPolicy #StarMinerals #EnergyDebate #SustainableFuture

Investment in clean energy likely to be double figure for fossil fuels in 2024, IEA says. The global energy watchdog has predicted that investment in clean energy including renewables and nuclear power as well as electric vehicles, power grids, energy storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency improvements and heat pumps will reach $2tn this year. https://zurl.co/F58h

🪨 🇦🇺 ⚡ Coal and Australia’s future electricity generation cost This report reconfirms that renewable generation – including costs for storage and transmission – remains the least-cost option for new electricity generation. This is especially critical as Australia transitions from its aging coal fleet to a smart energy future, and shows the recklessness of the Coalition’s nuclear policy ➡️ https://ow.ly/MzGv50UrHS5 #coal #powergeneration #thermalcoal

Heddiw! House of Commons today 9.30am ‘Making Britain a clean energy superpower’ This is an important debate for Ynys Môn - we are ready to play our part - in the last five years from UK government we have had: - £4.8m in funding for the Holyhead Hydrogen Hub - £120m launch of the Future Nuclear Enabling Fund and the £160m purchase of the Wylfa nuclear site - Investment in Morlais tidal energy (helped by CFD and marine energy being ringfenced which I lobbied for). There are also huge plans for offshore wind with BP Mona and solar (I lobbied against large solar farms). You can watch this important debate for Ynys Môn here: https://lnkd.in/eXR4hxzp #Localjobsforlocalpeople #Swyddilleoliboblleol #actionforanglesey #GweithredudrosYnysMôn

"#EE1 is at the forefront of Australia’s reinvigorated geothermal energy sector as it develops baseload green power projects with the reliability of traditional energy sources such as nuclear, gas, and coal-fired power stations without the emissions or safety concerns." We’re excited to be featured in The Australian as one of the "15 Companies to Watch in 2025"! 🌍⚡ Check out the full feature here: https://lnkd.in/gX6BPcgQ
