@ketan I wanted to check the source for this chart before boosting, since the modern internet is a trash fire, and I'm delighted that I did because now I have learned of the existence of the Open Electricity project (formerly OpenNEM). This chart corresponds pretty directly to this view, in case anybody wants to dig into the data further: https://explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/nem/?range=all-12-mth-rolling&interval=1M&view=discrete-time&group=Coal%2FGas%2FRenewables

@ketan I do slightly wish the legend was better organized, but otherwise 🥳

@ketan Coal is still generating 14 times more electricity than Gas despite the huge volumes of gas we are exporting. It should be obvious to government regulators that there is no need for any new gas and coal licenses to be issued - no matter to whom and no matter where. Coal and gas resources will very soon become stranded assetts. Let's hope our Superannutaion funds get out of them sooner rather than later.

@ketan pretty shure #Australia due tovit's low population density will literally be able to do Solarthermal Power Generation as main source and go 100% renewable way before 2050.
I mean, basically almost all major cities are near coasts, so there's no reason beyond NIMBYs to not do Wind Power as well…

@ketan Now can heatpumps start replacing gas/oil heat? -
