Fears the Iran conflict would trigger a surge in power prices have been unfounded. Why? One factor is the very rapid rollout of home and grid-scale batteries.

As a result, Australia’s reliance on expensive gas has fallen and power prices have stayed steady or even fallen.

Now it’s time for policymakers and households to look beyond batteries to hot water systems. For the average Australian home, water heating is still the biggest…The Conversation (Full Story)

Australian households are under immense financial pressure – and rising energy costs are a major reason why.

While policy makers and system planners have focused on ways to produce more energy – such as increasing renewables like solar – they’ve paid less attention to strategies to encourage people to save power.

House insulation – or large squares of bulky materials such as polystyrene and wool that are installed in roof…The Conversation (Full Story)

When most people hear the word addiction, they picture someone whose life has visibly unravelled.

Yet addiction is often hidden in plain sight – affecting people in workplaces, schools, sporting clubs and family homes.

Climate change is shifting forest conditions faster than local tree species can adapt. Higher temperatures, more frequent droughts and less predictable winters can weaken species that have been established in a region for centuries. In light of this, one idea is gaining ground: assisted migration.

Assisted migration involves deliberately moving tree species or populations to regions where the future climate is expected to be more favourable. The aim is to anticipate changes rather than wait for forests to decline. While this approach may sound logical, it raises several important questions.…The Conversation (Full Story)
