Big Gas is literally taking the piss out of Australia.
80% of our gas gets exported, yet 56% of it attracts ZERO royalties. Multinationals have pocketed $149 billion royalty-free while we pay the price at the pump and in our bills.
The Australia Institute made a killer TV ad to call it out – but they need our help to get it on air.
Every dollar helps make the politically impossible inevitable. Wakey wakey, Australia!

Yes, everything you say resonates loud & clear. Why don’t they [Big Oil, Big Gas] surprise us all by agreeing pleasantly to share their “windfall profits” with the country that hosts them? (Don’t answer: rhetorical!)#bigOil #bigGas #AusPol #windfallProfits #profitSharing #profiteering

Planned #Datacenter in #Maine under threat from proposed moratorium
Project in #SanfordME could be killed before it gets off the ground
February 20, 2026
By Dan Swinhoe
"Proposals to bring in a data center moratorium in Maine have threatened [notice the language] plans for a new campus [yeah, like it's a school] in the Pine Tree State.
"The proposed bill, sponsored by Representative #MelanieSachs, includes a two-year moratorium on facilities above 20MW in the state while the impacts of data centers are studied and more stringent controls are put in place.
"However, State Sen. #MattHarrington, R-Sanford, said a pause on development would endanger a new data center planned for his district, detailing a previously unreported project. [Which involves a LOT of SECRECY!!!]
"During a works session, he said the moratorium would impact a proposed 100-300MW project being proposed by a developer, later named as the Northern New England Energy Corporation.
"He said at the time that the project was well into the planning process and had met with local officials and Maine's Department of Energy Resources. [Wah, wah...]
" 'You're completely blindsiding this [OUT OF STATE, AND CONNECTED TO A CANADIAN GAS COMPANY] business,' Harrington said, according to a report from Maine Public.
"Harrington revealed more details in a follow-up Facebook post, saying the project was being targeted on land in Sanford, York County, some 35 miles (56.3km) southwest of Portland.
" 'I was recently briefed by representatives of the Northern New England Energy Company about their plans to develop an energy generation project utilizing a mix of American-made fuel cells, solar power, and battery storage to produce all of the electricity needed to serve a colocated data center,' he said in the post.
"While he was asked not to publicly discuss the project, he said the surprise proposal of a moratorium 'might stop this opportunity for our community from coming to fruition before we even had a chance to consider it altogether.'
"According to its website, Northern New England Energy Corporation (#NNEEC) is an energy company based in Vermont.
"A subsidiary of Énergir, #NNEEC is the parent company of Vermont utility and energy distribution provider #GreenMountainPower Corporation, #VermontGasSystems Inc., and #EGVInsurance Inc.
"#Énergir, formerly known as Gaz Métro, is a Canadian energy company and the largest natural gas distribution company in Quebec.
"Maine has a small data center market, with Data Center Map listing just eight facilities in the state, largely centered around Brunswick and Portland.
"A data center is being proposed in the former #LoringAirForceBase, and another is being planned next to a former nuclear power plant in #WiscassetME.
"A project in #LewistonME was rejected by local officials last year." [YES, BY THE PEOPLE!!!]

Ummmm...
"Thayer said she is regularly using ChatGPT to come up with ideas about planning what to eat, while also having it calculate the nutritional value of the pumpkin-banana-oat bread she’s been baking for years."
But conversely,
"Perhaps defying emerging media consumption trends, 28-year-old Sanaa Wilson usually skips right past those AI-generated summaries.
“It has to be a basic question like, ‘What day does Christmas land on in 2025?’” said the Los Angeles-area resident. “I’ll be like, ‘That makes sense. I trust it.’ But when it gets to specific news, related to what’s happening in California or what’s happening to the education system and stuff like that, I will scroll down a little bit further.”
Wilson, a freelance data scientist, does use AI heavily at work to help with coding, which she said has saved her hundreds of dollars she would have had to pay for training. She also occasionally uses it to come up with work-related ideas, an attempt to bring back a little of the collaborative brainstorming experience she remembers from college life but doesn’t have now.
When it first came out, Wilson said she also used ChatGPT to help write emails, until she learned more about its environmental impact and the possibility it would erode her own writing and thinking skills over time.
“It’s just an email. I can work it out,” she said. “However many minutes it takes, or seconds it takes, I can still type it myself.”"

#AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents
By Benj Edwards, July 29, 2025
"Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon praised the project's potential benefits for the state's natural gas industry in a company statement. 'This is exciting news for Wyoming and for Wyoming natural gas producers,' Gordon said."

Feds OK #NaturalGasPipeline expansion in #PacificNorthwest over #environmentalist #protests
By CLAIRE RUSH
Updated 6:41 PM EDT, October 19, 2023PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — "Federal regulators on Thursday approved the expansion of a natural gas pipeline in the Pacific Northwest over the protest of environmental groups and top officials in West Coast states, who said it goes against the region’s plans to address #ClimateChange and could pose a #wildfire risk.
"The project, known as GTN Xpress, aims to expand the capacity of the Gas Transmission Northwest pipeline, which runs through Idaho, Washington and Oregon, by about 150 million cubic feet (4.2 million cubic meters) of natural gas per day. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission gave it the green light in a vote on Thursday.
"#TCEnergy plans to modify three compressor stations along the pipeline — in #KootenaiCounty, #Idaho; #WallaWalla County, #Washington; and #ShermanCounty, #Oregon. Compressor stations help maintain the pressure and flow of gas over long distances in a pipeline.
"Environmental groups criticized the decision."

#OpenSecrets: #JoeManchin vows to block “radical climate agenda,” rakes in #oil and #gas industry contributions
By Taylor Giorno and Jimmy Cloutier, May 12, 2023 5:35 pm
"The Environmental Protection Agency unveiled a new proposal Thursday to cut #GreenhouseGas emissions from thousands of power plants burning coal or #NaturalGas two of the top sources of electricity across the United States. Sen. #JoeManchin (D-W.Va.), criticizing the 'radical' proposal, issued his own scorched earth ultimatum on Wednesday ahead of the announcement.
"Manchin, chair of the #SenateEnergyCommittee and the top recipient of contributions from the #OilAndGas industry during the 2022 election cycle, vowed Wednesday to oppose every one of President Joe Biden’s nominees for the EPA 'until they halt their government overreach.'
"'This Administration is determined to advance its radical climate agenda and has made it clear they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence, no matter the cost to energy security and reliability,' Manchin wrote in a statement released Wednesday.
"What #Manchin did not disclose in his statement, however, is that the #EPA proposal would jeopardize one #WestVirginia #coal facility that’s particularly lucrative for Manchin’s family business, #Enersystems Inc., POLITICO reported. Enersystems delivers waste coal to the Grant Town power plant, which was reportedly already struggling financially, troubles that are expected to deepen with the strict new climate proposal.
"Manchin personally received $537,000 from Enersystems last year, according to POLITICO’s analysis of personal financial disclosures filed with the U.S. Senate, and he has been paid more than $5 million by the company since he was first elected in 2010. His son, Joe Manchin IV, now runs Enersystems. The Senator’s campaign has also benefited from political contributions from Enersystems, OpenSecrets reported last year."

"Manchin, chair of the #SenateEnergyCommittee and the top recipient of contributions from the #OilAndGas industry during the 2022 election cycle, vowed Wednesday to oppose every one of President Joe Biden’s nominees for the EPA 'until they halt their government overreach.'
"'This Administration is determined to advance its radical climate agenda and has made it clear they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence, no matter the cost to energy security and reliability,' Manchin wrote in a statement released Wednesday.
"What #Manchin did not disclose in his statement, however, is that the #EPA proposal would jeopardize one #WestVirginia #coal facility that’s particularly lucrative for Manchin’s family business, #Enersystems Inc., POLITICO reported. Enersystems delivers waste coal to the Grant Town power plant, which was reportedly already struggling financially, troubles that are expected to deepen with the strict new climate proposal.
"Manchin personally received $537,000 from Enersystems last year, according to POLITICO’s analysis of personal financial disclosures filed with the U.S. Senate, and he has been paid more than $5 million by the company since he was first elected in 2010. His son, Joe Manchin IV, now runs Enersystems. The Senator’s campaign has also benefited from political contributions from Enersystems, OpenSecrets reported last year."
