I am ideologically opposed to this form of advertising.

Commercial enterprises can do what they want but I don't think it's at all appropriate for a public institution.

This stinks.

    From my other comment:

    The largest in the South East of Western Australia is the Western Green Energy Hub which could generate 50GW of wind and solar energy and use that to produce 3.5m tonnes of green hydrogen every year. It will take several more years before a final investment decision is made and another decade to construct, but that's the nature of large scale projects.

    You need electricity to make hydrogen.

    Indeed. There's a number of huge solar farms in the development / approval phase in Western Australia.

    I don't know how real the transportation problems actually are. Australia is already exporting liquid hydrogen. The industry doesn't seem concerned about it.

    It's not all bad news.

    West Aus is getting big into renewable hydrogen. Basically using solar farms to crack hydrogen from sea water.

    Last time I read up about it there were three new cracking facilities under development.

    The whole process seems so magical to me as a non-science person, basically selling sun & sea water as a form of energy that for all intents and purposes has no waste products.

    what exactly makes him think he’ll be spared?

    I don't really know anything about this but... the article says he acknowledges that his own companies are prominent greenhouse gas emitters, he is investing $6b to improve his companies, and that he has large investments in renewables as well.

    IDK how true that is, but thats what it says.

    It looks like this is a handlebars helper.

    Handlebars is a temptating language.

    I've never used handlebars but I'm guessing this is syntactic sugar for non-programmers. Like:

    <div>{{if is-even myVariable}} it's even {{else}} it's odd {{endif}}</div>

    This is awesome but I don't really understand.

    The purported issue is that they don't have explicit consent for some data points. They apparently responded by saying they were going to charge a subscription.

    Why wouldn't they just get consent? I'm sure most fb users will just agree to anything put in front of them.
