This is an interesting article. Why? Because it goes beyond the normalized threadbare reporting we are subjected to from main stream media. And because the information imparted by the article is so… *refreshing* ?… due to its structure (the way it is written) and the information it reveals, both of which entice the reader to pay attention while reducing the temptation to *skim* the article — *skim reading* is a pathology thrust upon readers of social media platforms, it is highly infectious and to date there are no remedies (but maybe this article and the type of *journalism* it champions is the antidote).
The article **explains** (wooaah, that’s bold and inovative) that the #TomagoSmelter bail out isn’t, in fact, a run-of-the-mill govt *bail out*.
“…there is every chance that this arrangement will be cost-neutral over the decade, while at the same time turbocharging the energy transition and economic diversification of Australia’s most prominent industrial region.” That is the exiting part.
But there is a dependency and #RioTinto needs to stick to the commitment for a decade at least. “ For its part, Tomago has committed to investing a minimum of $1.1 billion in reducing energy usage and switching to renewables. Not only will closure be avoided, but there will be a value-add to the region.”
And that #Corporation has a track record : https://www.accr.org.au/news/rio-tinto-climate-hypocrisy-accr-to-disengage-following-revelation-of-lobbying-the-prime-minister-on-climate-trigger/
If it all works out as planned, this public funding/investment (not a bail out as such) will benefit all parties including the #HunterRegions and support the transition to #Renewables energy.

KCLU: What’s in your home’s air? Researchers could pay you to find out
"...An environmental research project is looking for residents in the Tri-counties to take part and you could be paid $500.
Could swapping out your gas appliances make your home healthier? That’s the question researchers want to answer...."

For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail from the full OpenStreetMap dataset for the Islands of Northern Europe (Great Britain and Ireland) as a GeoPackage here https://github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/releases/download/v2.0.1/ine-track.gpkg.
It identifies railway features, line speed and electrification scheme based on metadata.
The associated source code and repository is here:

#Electrification is here to stay, for lots of reasons. And all the technologies for making our civilization carbon-neutral already exist. This video is an amazing rundown of all the #ClimateSolutions already out there, including in tricky sectors like steel, cement, fertilizer and shipping. This should inspire and motivate all of us to push the green transition forward, because we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Thanks, Dave Borlace!

1/ ⚡️↪️🖥️ German Energy Transition Monitor: Momentum Is Still Insufficient for the Expansion of Renewables, Electrification, and Storage https://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.1015053.de/dwr-26-30-1.pdf
Now available in English: What is the status of the #energy #transition in 🇩🇪 as of mid-2026? The #DIW Energy Transition Monitor shows some progress—but the pace is still not fast enough to meet the 2030 targets. Three key areas are examined: #renewables, #electrification, and power system #flexibility.

WaPo: The EPA halted a study on gas stoves and asthma. But even partial results were striking.
Research that used a federal grant to pay for asthma patients to have their gas stoves replaced showed a dramatic fall in asthma attacks. The program was cut short after President Donald Trump took office.

Ireland unveils a blueprint to electrify the economy by 2050.
Dublin’s plan takes into account a surge in electricity demand over the coming decades, driven by electric vehicles, industry and rapidly expanding data centres, which will place growing pressure on the national grid.

Lt. Energycharts liefern #Pumpspeicherkraftwerke ca. 10-11 GWh pro Jahr.
Lt. der Studie in 2017 waren es 34,7 GWh je Lastzyklus. Somit würden die Pumpspeicherkraftwerke nur ein Drittel ihrer Kapazität im Jahr nutzen können (oder wollen). Vermutlich gab es auch kaum Zubau. Wer kennt die Gründe? Wassermangel, Ökologie oder mangelnde Vergütung?Mit 31 GWh nutzbarem Batteriespeicher in Deutschland sind diese unseren Pumpspeichern auch weit voraus.🔌

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
"Led by Dr. Ash Sehgal, a professor at Case Western’s School of Medicine, researchers recruited families from across the Cleveland and Akron areas where at least one person had asthma. Using funds from the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act, they replaced gas stoves with electric induction stoves in 91 homes.
And then they did something unprecedented: They studied whether people got less sick after they stopped cooking with gas. It was the first time time scientists had replaced gas ranges with electric ranges and examined the health impacts. "
