Dr. Lowe’s contrition did not exercise my thoughts, however, in partContinue reading “Guardians Of The Gulf Between Virtuous And Wicked”
Australian Gas Asset Ownership Through The Energy Transition
In recent decades Australian politicians have been delinquent in their leadership* and this means that the Australian public has been slow to understand the myriad issues surrounding the energy transition even if recent election results show that concern over the climate crisis is growing rapidly.
