BrownPower: Finally Some Innovative Thinking From The Coal Industry
Finally! Some innovation from the traditional energy industry.
During the recent kerfuffle about the Approved Solar Retailer scheme, I had an epiphany.
It dawned on me that the ‘new energy’ media landscape in Australia has become a victim of the ‘filter bubble’ culture – and is, in 2019, horribly lopsided.

Beware of schemes that claim to be voluntary but force you into applying by other means. [Read more…]
