PowerMakers building meaningful leadership roles

Twenty-six emerging First Nations leaders from across the country have been chosen for the First Nations Clean Energy Network's PowerMakers 2026 clean energy program, drawn from more than 70 applications. The intensive program aims to give participants the knowledge, skills and networks to lead clean energy projects in their homes, communities and on Country. Participants will cover household energy measures, community energy planning, project development and negotiating benefit-sharing agreements. The network's director, Bec Halliday, said the cohort is drawn from nearly every state and territory.

Green light for fairer energy future in Wollongong

Wollongong city councillors from all parties have adopted the Wollongong Energy Equity Framework, a plan to make clean electricity cheaper for everyone, not only households with solar panels. Council research found almost one in five households may struggle with energy hardship, meaning more than 10 per cent of income goes on electricity. Solar uptake is lowest in suburbs such as Bellambi, where it is under 18 per cent. Stakeholders from business, government, the university and the not-for-profit sector are now invited to become signatories to the framework.

US voters want action on global heating. So why are midterm candidates ‘climate hushing’?

Most candidates in the US midterm elections are barely mentioning climate change, despite polling showing voters want to hear more about it. A survey by the Environmental Voter Project found that three times as many voters in eight key Senate battleground states want more talk on the climate crisis than less. Candidates have focused instead on inflation and the Iran war. Some experts say the strategy does not match voter views, while Republicans have attacked Democrat James Talarico over his stance on renewable energy. Some Democrats, such as Angie Nixon in Florida, have raised the issue directly.
