Gas peaking plants were massively profitable - that is why the Gas lobby has been trying to stop the rollout of batteries, solar thermal, pumped hydro, etc on the supply side and heat pumps, solar hot water, etc on the demand side.
Eight Sydney bus routes to be axed but 10 to be added, most in the south-west, starting Sunday.
TfNSW says it's reshaping bus services to improve connections, reduce duplication and increase capacity where demand is greatest as projects like Sydney Metro are completed

"Let He Who is Without Sin be the First to Throw Stones in a Glasshouse" (or something). But this is not AI slop, it's from a real Geography channel on Youtube.
This is brilliant
Apols for the f*book link, but it seems the last run of a K set on Sydney's train network might have been last night.
They were nobody's favourite train, but the K sets just got on and did their job and served well for over 40 years.

Has anyone used the Hailo app now on trial on some Melbourne bus routes? Intending travellers can hail a bus from their phone, and is designed for disabled travellers, but is available to everyone
(Their icons for bus and tram stops and rail stations are amusing)

The shake-up will affect bus routes from the northern beaches and north shore to the Hills, north-west and city’s south-west.
I get endless cold-emails selling me something. Was wondering how many of them are human. The answer turns out to be: none.
Updated my LinkedIn profile yesterday. 10 monastic messages today, of which this was the best.
Big batteries are absolutely crushing the role for peaking gas in Australia's National Electricity Market.
Less gas means lower bills and lower emissions for all of us.

Not now, Super El Niño.
I don't know Anna Williamson at all, but the guest of each Train-ing It episode is not really the point. Joe Wilkinson is wonderful, and the railway is the star. This Channel 4 series of short videos is an innovative and quite brilliant promotion for British train travel.

Random photo from my collection:
The Indian Pacific just before departure from East Perth terminal, January 4, 2015. This is peak 1960s design, and I love the way the platform awning and the train are similar in hue and curve in unison.
''Super El Niño' will have an alarming financial impact, experts fear...
El Niño… can have a devastating impact on the world economy…
...the 1982-83 El Niño led to $4.1 tn in global income losses, while 1997-98 El Niño cost about $5.7 tn, a 2023 study suggested.'

El Niño, a natural warming of Pacific Ocean water, can have a big impact on the world economy, costing trillions of dollars around the globe.
