Students invited to 'drill for oil' with straws - ABC listen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A retired WA science teacher is questioning the role of industry-backed education programs. Students in her classroom were told gas was the answer to the energy transition, and used plastic straws to drill for oil. The experience is part of a broader investigation that found fossil fuel companies are sponsoring hundreds of programs in schools, sporting clubs and museums. Energy Club WA says its program is reviewed by participating schools. A presentation about natural gas is part of the Next Gen

Beyond melting ice and glacial lakes at risk of overflowing, the very ground people have built their lives on is shifting. Scientists have warned for years
Fuel security or electrification? We've crunched the numbers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The war in Iran has kicked off the "largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market", and it's also drawn attention to something invisible to most Australians — we use a lot of diesel to keep this country running. We crunched the numbers, and per capita, Australians use almost twice as much diesel as the United States. From mining to growing food, diesel is needed in all economic sectors.
