101 — Buying Power

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!
