Could you run an aluminium smelter with wind, solar and batteries? Let's suppose we tried to do it in South Australia. We have thousands of MW of utility scale wind and solar. Could we run a smelter with it? How may batteries would we need? open.substack.com/pub/geoffrusse…

Deep-sea mining (Part II): Biodiversity and the CCZ How does biodiversity of coral reefs and tropical forests compare with the area people are proposing to be mined. Indonesia supplies 60% of the world's nickel by destroying areas of forest. geoffrussell.substack.com/p/deep-sea-min…

How household solar and battery systems have been used by Governments to avoid their responsibilities to clean up the grid, while putting that decarbonising process in jeopardy. geoffrussell.substack.com/p/home-batteri…
The Fin Review climate and energy summit has a great piece on the slow-moving train wreck that is Australia's grid decarbonisation strategy. open.substack.com/pub/geoffrusse…
Deep-sea mining (Part I) ABC's Four Corners was uncharacteristically superficial and uninformative on the issues associated with mining the deep ocean for the metals we need for a highly electrified clean energy future. open.substack.com/pub/geoffrusse…
Veritasium and PFAS "forever chemicals" ... Time to add some context to the BBQ. open.substack.com/pub/geoffrusse…
Sorry about the picture. But honesty is better than bullshit. "Bacon", like "sausage" and "meat", is designed to deceive about the nature and origin of the product. open.substack.com/pub/geoffrusse…

Hence the massive sell off of utility wind and solar "assets" ... pity the chump who buys them. afr.com/companies/ener…
Osmond promotes the capacity factor of the top 30 industrial wind sites as a win. Note the rapid drop off at the end. There are 98 operating wind sites today, so there twice as many worse sites not included in this chart. I’ve said it before - there is no winning argument for…
A major sell-off of wind and solar farms is underway. afr.com/companies/ener… It's the private car vs mass transit all over again. Utility-scale solar and wind will lose. But private cars didn't create a transport nirvana any more than rooftop solar will get us to net zero.
There's an old saying, those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it. It's like most old sayings; mostly wrong. Plenty of people who don't know history, don't repeat it; they do far, far worse. They f*ck up totally. Auto genocide. jackdevanney.substack.com/p/the-auto-gen…
Why exactly would anybody build a utility scale wind, solar or battery farm in such a market? This is cars vs mass transit all over again and we know how that ends. The poor and renters are screwed; as is net zero.
Oh no. The impossible is happening. #auspol. Australia's main grid hits new renewable record share of 77.9 per cent, driven by rooftop PV reneweconomy.com.au/australias-mai…
In this week's @abcnews column I preview the Government's 2035 emissions reduction target: if it's worthwhile, we'll need a carbon tax, and probably nuclear generation as well. abc.net.au/news/2025-09-1…

Australia's emissions target is a laugh-or-cry-o-meter or maybe a tax-o-meter
Australia's emissions reduction number is, in short, a laugh-or-cry-o-meter, or perhaps more accurately, a tax-o-meter.
