Big batteries are now outcompeting gas in the grid – and gas-rich Western Australia is at the forefront Gas was long thought to be essential as a backup for a clean energy grid. But enormous growth in grid-scale batteries has changed the game.

Batteries and renewables making fossil fuels less relevant in the grid.

iGel. I’m a fan! In prehosp/retrieval we train people to use them as an expensive oropharyngeal in collapse- frees up hands, don’t need a syringe and less choice/fiddling (re: air in cuff ).

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

In the past two years, with surprisingly little notice, renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world.

Pre-filled metaraminol has sorted me for unexpected hypotension. Pre-filled suxamethonium sorts paeds laryngospasm. TIVA most cases means I have immediately available propofol. So no need to routinely prepare emerg drugs. obvs some patients get all sorts of things prepared based on risk.

Budget reveals WA oil and gas royalties in rapid decline Shared revenue from Australia's largest mainland gas project has dropped by more than 70 per cent in three years, contributing less than 1 per cent of the state's revenue this financial year.

West Australians reading the latest budget should be outraged: "Australia is being robbed of its resources and our governments are entirely complicit," said @markogge.bsky.social speaking to ABC.

"WA motorists will be paying 6x the amount in car rego fees as the gas industry pays in royalties."

Wake up/recovery with propofol is superior. Just got to get into routine. Eleveld has also sped up emergence (still becoming familiar with it). So many reasons Des is dead.
