SA breaks a renewable energy milestone
Congratulations to South Australia! The state produced on average 101 per cent of the energy it needed from wind, rooftop solar and solar farms, with just a fraction of the energy the state used being drawn from gas, in order to keep the grid stable. This shows what good policy and sector collaboration can achieve in our hot Australian summers.https://amp-smh-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/south-australia-breaks-record-running-for-a-week-on-renewable-energy-20220116-p59omi.html

A need, an idea and creative craftsmanship
Imagination and energy are elements to enable something you desire to become a reality. “The idea for the guitar came from simply wanting an electric guitar but I didn’t want to spend $1000 on a premium fender -so I made one, deciding to spend the vast majority of the cost on the electronics. It is made from old Tasmanian Blackwood floorboards that glow in the dark, with resin stripes. I based it on a $80 guitar kit that I bought as a reference” Abe Mahlab UNSW student. It is not only beautiful it also sounds great.
