Electricity generation costs would be a third lower with 82% renewable grid, CSIRO says https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/dec/16/electricity-generation-costs-third-lower-82-renewable-grid #Australianeconomy #Renewableenergy #Australianews #Environment #Solarpower #Windpower #Energy #CSIRO

Electricity generation costs would be a third lower with 82% renewable grid, CSIRO says

Modelling suggests main electricity market could run almost entirely on renewables without increase in generation cost by 2050

The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨Dec 10

🤖❄️ Scientists at #Australia's #CSIRO deployed an Argo float near #TottenGlacier in 2020, but #Antarctic currents sent it under the Denman ice shelf instead. After nine months of measuring temperature and salinity, the float emerged with never-before-collected #data revealing how ice shelves are melting.

Tiny Robot Lost Under Antarctic Ice for 8 Months Comes Back With Rare Data

“Against the enormity of such a wild region, this is an amazing story of the little float that could.”

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2025-11-19/csiro-cuts-tip-australia-science-funding/106026174 #CSIRO #science #research #innovation

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding

Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?

Are CSIRO’s sweeping job cuts a sign Australia doesn’t care about the extinction crisis?

Cuts to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation include:
"climate intelligence and advice; unlocking net zero; waste; and valuing and restoring biodiversity, nature and healthy ecosystems."

“… The direction appears to be, at the moment, that we are prepared to drop the ball on our extinction crisis, our global leadership in biodiversity science or in Southern Ocean science.”

Climate of fear: are CSIRO’s sweeping job cuts a sign Australia doesn’t care about the extinction crisis?

Ever decreasing funding for the globally respected government agency mirrors an industry-wide trend that could hinder scientific breakthroughs

@butterscotch
The Govt seems happy to let the #FossilFuelIndustry and #ExtractiveIndustries enjoy virtually tax-free profits. It seems happy to bail-out failed companies to save jobs ‘in the national interest’ (aka political nous), but can’t bring itself to justify funding #CSIRO and keep “those’ jobs. What kind of bloody-minded govt is that @AlboPM ? What gives? Is this what #LaborVoters asked of you?
