Buying Power

December 09, 2021 • Episode 101

We talk about Shell's acquisition of Powershop and the cool cool Labor party.

Power flop

Powershop got acquired by Shell.
Energy Australia cancelled their partnership with Powershop.
Amber Electric got sassy.
Shell have said they plan to reach “net zero” by 2050.

Opposition party?

The Labor party have announced a plan to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030 if they are elected. Such ambition!
They’ve also dumped plans for vehicle emissions standards.
And worked with the government to hand out more subsidies to gas miners.
Oh also they worked with the LNP to stifle criticism from charities.

Actions

Change your energy provider again. Sorry. Hopefully it’ll work out next time! Check out Co Power or Amber Electric.
Listen to A Serious Danger, it’s good!
