Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party. That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours. The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it. #Bettrification #BESS

This new paper by @claudiazwar.bsky.social is an absolute must read! osf.io/preprints/so...

Why are we observing a 'green backlash' when serious efforts to decarbonise have scarcely begun? I'm happy to share my working paper, 'The Political Consequences of Climate Ambition: Evidence from Australia', which analyses how voters respond prospectively to proposed climate policies. Brief 🧵:

Very happy to share this thoroughly revised version of our climate institutions working paper -- always a joy to work with @claudiazwar.bsky.social and @chflachsland.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the previous version! osf.io/preprints/so...

Great work starting to open up the black box of Australian elite-level climate politics

Which groups mobilise on #climate policy in Australia? 📣 Darren Halpin and I have a new paper out in @environmentalpol.bsky.social that systematically maps who mobilises on climate policy in Australia, what side of the issue they fall on, and in which arenas they mobilise. Key finding include 🧵

Some personal news: last week I became a German citizen! A typically understated, bureaucratic ceremony, but it still meant a lot to me. I’m looking forward to voting in my first German election, and shouting at people when they cycle on the Bürgersteig ;)

This has been a tumultuous week in Australian climate politics! And a good example of how target setting becomes a focal point for agenda-setting on climate, as per @jacobedenhofer.bsky.social, @chflachsland.bsky.social and my paper (below) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Bowen says cutting emissions by more than 70% ‘not achievable’ as 2035 target criticised from all sides

Albanese says 62% to 70% range represents ‘the sweet spot’ as Coalition rejects ‘economy wrecking’ target while Greens label it a ‘betrayal’

work with @claudiazwar.bsky.social on climate institutions. Policy instruments span market-based tools (e.g. carbon pricing, ETS) and non-market approaches (e.g. standards, subsidies). Instrument design structures distributive outcomes and thus reshapes coalitional politics. bsky.app/profile/clau...
