This report from @the_AEMC dropped yesterday.
The headline this year: prices go up in the medium term under current policy. That's a reversal from last year.
And yet the prescription is for more renewables, and faster electrification.
What gives? Isn't that what we're doing, that seems not to be working?
The explanation for that contradiction took some teasing out. I think it's scandalous.
AEMC's capacity expansion model builds less renewables than last year, and ends up with a tighter wholesale market, because the demand outlook has changed.
And they've lied about how the demand outlook has changed. They've said it was a reduction in electrification demand. Their sources (ESOO) contradict that.
What they really mean is not a reduction in electrification demand, but a reduction in electric fudge-factors they've relied upon in the past to cram renewables into the model without it exploding. Namely "coordinated" consumer storage (batteries you buy, but let the grid control), as well as flexible hydrogen.
And an increase data centre demand, which is flat and inflexible, the complete opposite of how they assumed hydrogen demand would work.
So this report should be admitting a collision of reality with earlier unrealistic assumptions.
Something like "with real-world demand, renewables don't work so great", followed up with calls for more firm capacity to match more realistic demand profiles.
But instead they double-down on their earlier optimism, and just call for the fudge-factors they previously relied upon to be rushed back in, blaming the lack of renewables in their model (which is the symptom of a problem, not the cause of it) for pushing prices up.
This is really incredible. They've inverted the chain of causality that actually flows through their model.
Such a blatant misdirect in the conclusions of the analysis that they've done (some of which, in parts, they made genuine and respectable efforts to improve on over previous versions, and I was tempted to commend) is just appalling. 1/

Let's start with the conclusion.
They've revised the predicted prices upwards, significantly, throughout the period.
We now have overall price increases.
As a veteran of watching CSIRO adjust its reports year on year, this is... unsurprising, but foreboding. 2/

The next page is clear that it's "updated demand, new entrants" that causes most of the pain in the wholesale upgrade.
And it's clear that it's the lower demand that "lead to a smaller buildout".
And the lower reserve margin, from this pushes up prices. 4/

new Toyota GR GT chassis, gonna do a thread on some quick observations
chassis is a mix of aluminum and CFRP. aluminum castings, extrusions, sheet metal. you see a lot of parallels with other cars of a similar configuration. in concept/layout the GR GT is extremely similar to the C5/C6/C7 Corvette, especially the C6 Z06 and C7
castings in the front (and in the rear) for suspension pickups. cast node is good here because you can better distribute the load from the control arms as opposed to putting it into a 6000 series tube or sheet metal. a356 is good for this. note the lack of welding
The 30-Day Fat-Burning Drink That Actually Works 🔥
Close your eyes for a moment.
Imagine you could lose up to 20 kg in just 30 days — without starving yourself or doing heavy gym workouts. Sounds impossible? Wait till you learn this simple yet powerful formula.

This drink can turn your metabolism into a fat-burning machine, but only if you combine it with two extra habits. The drink alone won’t do the magic.
Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

•1 tsp apple cider vinegar
•A pinch of cinnamon powder

In regard to today’s ACIP Committee hearing, a 🧵:
Many of the public comments made were by physicians, practitioners, and activists with an invested financial interest in keeping the recommended birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccines as is. Some comments were also from vaccine hesitancy nonprofits that are supposed to combat misinformation online and try to educate the public on taking vaccines for safety. I feel it is in the public’s best interest to know who the public commenters were today along with all their affiliations. The only public comment given against vaccines and against the hepatitis B vaccines was by @uTobian. Thank you sir. I really do appreciate you!

Cole Jr purchased the components for the J6 devices at multiple locations across 2019 and 2020, but several key purchases took place after his father lost a case before the DC Court of Appeals.
Cole Sr lost the case on Nov 10, 2020.
Cole Jr purchased:
9v battery connectors on Nov 12, 2020
A wire stripping tool and wire nuts on Nov 14, 2020
The 1x8 pipes and the end caps on Nov 16, 2020.
Sandpaper and machinist tool on Nov 21, 2020.
Gloves, wipes and electrical wires on Nov 24, 2020.
Steel wool on Dec 4, 2020.

Also notable are the purchases he made at the beginning of the Summer of Love.
Pipes, end caps, the kitchen timers, and wiring.
I think he may have been motivated to engage in this activity that Summer and was motivated again after his father lost the case.

Ok, I'm working on a thread on how @the_AEMC's latest Residential Electricity Price Trends report.
First, a prelude.
On how the report has become what it is.
We're told now that it "should not be taken as a forecast".
It used to be exactly that. A straight-laced short-run forecast, starting from the firm anchor of a complete financial year.
Now they've made it an "outlook" utterly beholden to government policy aspirations, over the longer run, being successful and achieved. With a bunch of caveats and cautions, and bets both ways split across "price" vs "cost", "system" vs "household", "opex" vs "capex" that make it clear as mud to ordinary people.
And nothing like the crisp reflection of recent reality, with plausible short-term extrapolations, that we previously had.
And this was done at the request essentially of Chris Bowen, or at least the Ministerial Council that he chaired.
Short thread to explain. 1/

First, here's an excerpt from the latest published terms of reference. Which say, explicitly, that it should be a forecast. Despite that being difficult, their instruction is to try, for 3 years, using the last final year as an anchor. 2/

aemc.gov.au/sites/default/…
Now, it's starting with a projection for NEXT year.
No anchor in "the financial year immediately preceding the forward estimation period" as specified by the terms of reference.
And ten years forwards, instead of 3 years.
Which allows it to be vague and wishy-washy. 3/

THREAD: Did scientists find “Moderna-patented DNA” inside the Covid virus?
Short answer: No — and here’s why the headline is misleading. [It does get suckers to click and share and that creates REVENUE for the Mail.]

A viral headline claims scientists found a “DNA sequence patented by Moderna” inside SARS-CoV-2, implying the virus was engineered in a lab.
That sounds dramatic — but it’s not true. And here’s the science behind it.

First: SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus.
It does not contain DNA.
So any claim that “DNA was found inside the virus” is already biologically off-base.
What the headline refers to is not DNA in the virus — just a short nucleotide sequence.

The truth is, immigration enforcement policy has never been about "reducing crime", "protecting our national security", or "boosting the economy."
