I'm at the #SaveOurEPA rally with a few hundred people in front of the WA Parliament House. Let's protect our unique and beautiful environment!

Dear companies,
please don't make having access to Google's or Apple's app stores to use your products a requirement.
This locks so many of us out because we either don't have a compatible device or the device doesn't have the software to access these services (like google play services).

@LALegault if you're looking to get solar or an ev charger, boycott SolarEgde. SolarEdge is an Israeli company. #boycott #genocide #solar
@Snoro I take all short term trends in the EV space with a large grain of salt. We are in the early turbulent years. Even the good sales trends in Australia. It will reduce then go back up.
@Snoro the article touched on a few points but never got to the real trends. EVs used to hold their value well because they were rare. Now new EVs are dropping their price, their deprecation curve is becoming similar to ICE vehicles. The China 'issue' is very different. They had 100 brands and were reduced to a few dozen so there was a lot of product for models that didn't sell.
@sam I've seen coils/wire wrapped in plastic (small motor that won't melt it) or hot glue, and I think the cord is better.
@sam just spectating, I think that'll help reduce shocks so the components don't break.

I wrote about the genocide in Palestine, and how tech has been silent and complicit.
@Snoro that article is a load of crap. The fracking industry relied on low interest rates and low environmental regulation! You cannot compare 2019 prices with 2023 prices when the CPI increases were caused by oil and gas windfall profits. Renewables are still cheaper than 5 years ago, this is only a blip. All energy sources in China have increased but renewables have increased faster (EIA China Country Analysis Brief 2023).

I had low expectations for COP28—oil emirate?—but to hear petrostates (that's US) crow about the statement to "move away" from fossil fuels as "historic" & not the utter minimum... well, that's fucking revealing.
Business as Usual will fight to the death.
Our death.
We aren't doomed, but we're in deep trouble. The only way out is together.
1—vote green
2—organize
3—change a high carbon usage to low carbon TODAY
4—keep going
Any action gets you started & we don't have any time to lose.

@alcinnz years ago a friend wanted to make a car ad. So they walked down the street taking photos, stitched them together and superimposed a car over the top. This technique would have made it look like a video and not stop-motion.
@Snoro I take that back, they'll need $500 billion. Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation has USD $20 billion doing the same thing.
"We have access to AUD $30.5 billion in investment capital from the Australian Government"
