There's also the BYD Atto which is below 30K![] (https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/a06ebd6e-c8a1-4a21-872a-593ead1a5388.jpeg)

Because they are more interested in profits than in contributing to climate solutions.

Electric public transport and/or small businesses with small electric buses and more flexible routes. The latter would be particularly useful for our growing aging popuation.

Thank you. I'll check the video out.

I commiserate. I'm in Qld too and live in Nat Party heartland. We're getting a local coal mine expanded (federal govt approval) and everyone seems to be happy as. I feel nauseated that despite the growing cyclones, floods, heatwaves and drought (depending where you are in the state) no one seems to care. It appears nobody's appears have asked what will happen with all the toxic water that coal mines release into the environment when there's a flood (as has happened recently in which millions of litres being released into the GBR catchment). We are in cropping and cattle country and have amazing but dwindling wildlife due to a growth in tree changers and subdivisions plus of course the effect of expansion of grazing land and now an increased threat from a larger coalmine. Obscene.

Perhaps it's taking a shortcut. 😜

😂

All of us, including scientists, CAN be part of spiritual and cultural transformation. There are forces that seek to block the transformation so we must consciously become aware of this and commit ourselves to forging ahead through our own understanding, self-work and action for nature, the young, and for sanity.

Totally agree.

You can send in a submission (closes this Friday) , created by Solar Citizens, an independent, community-based organisation to object to the Australian Energy Market Commission’s proposed rule change to increase fixed charges. This is what they say:

"Here’s what we know: Independent modelling of this proposed rule change would see electricity bills for households with 8kW of solar and a 20kWh battery increase by roughly $400–$700 every year under the AEMC’s proposal. [1]

Higher fixed network charges would wipe out a significant share of the savings solar owners have spent thousands of dollars to achieve — and will stretch out solar and battery payback periods, cutting the return on these investments. 💸

This is not what you signed up for, and it’s unfair to introduce these changes now.

Plus, by wrecking the return on investment, it sends a clear message to the households thinking about installing solar and batteries: 'you can't trust big energy to cut your lunch, so don't bother'."

Submission is pre-written or you can alter it. Go to: https://form.123formbuilder.com/6930867/submission-to-aemc-pricing-review

If they want to introduce this in the near future it's madness! We'll be going backwards in reducing emissions (even more than we are now) and punishing low and middle-income households. This sounds like corporatist thinking at its worst.

Done.
