One of Australia’s earliest solar power plants has been recognised with the New South Wales government adding it to the State Heritage Register.

A Victorian solar installation company has been fined $100,000 and ordered to pay more than $12,000 in court costs after repeatedly failing to address the risks of falls at four rooftop solar installation sites.

Australia’s energy transition has never been more urgent. Ageing coal-fired power stations are retiring and energy bills are rising sharply. To address this, the obvious solution is to build more renewable energy projects and the transmission infrastructure to connect them at scale. But a major hurdle remains: community opposition.

The events of September 11, 2001, are still fresh in my mind. It's hard to believe that today's 30-year-olds were in kindergarten when terrorists took so many lives, and changed everyone else's.
