A koala’s home is much more than one gum tree. A koala feeds on eucalyptus leaves in a mature native tree—habitat that can take decades to replace. It is a living neighbourhood made up of food trees, resting trees, shade trees and safe pathways between them.

We are told they will help lower emissions, create jobs, and build a better world. That sounds good. But there is another side to the story, and it is one Australia shouldContinueContinue reading “SunCable Could Power Singapore — But At What Cost to Australia’s Wildlife?”
🌬️ Rethinking Wind Power: Smarter Small-Scale Wind Energy for Cities, Towns, and Suburbs
When most people think of wind energy, they imagine giant turbines stretching across hills and paddocks. These huge machines can generate a lot of electricity, but they’re also loud, expensive, and take up massive amounts of land. They also need wide roads, deep foundations, and transmission lines stretching across forests and farms — which oftenContinueContinue reading “🌬️ Rethinking Wind Power: Smarter Small-Scale Wind Energy for Cities, Towns, and Suburbs”
