Assembly Bill 12, signed into law last October, says regardless of whether the residential property is unfurnished or furnished, only one month’s rent can be charged in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy.

Most people need to save money at the moment, and anything that makes it easier to do that at the same time as helping to save the planet has got to be a winner.And that’s why solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners – installing the panels provides you with free, renewable, low-carbon electricity, and you can also sell any surplus energy to the grid, or store it for later use.Last year, the low-carbon certification organisation MCS recorded more than 220,500 solar panel installations, and sustainable energy experts Solar Together says installations rose by 30% in 2023.Lower...

The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. But limits to these technologies can undermine the case for a renewables-only electricity mix.

The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. To ensure reliable energy supplies, grids dominated by renewables need “firming” capacity: back-up technology that can supply electricity on demand.

Some, including the Albanese government, argue gas-fired generators are needed to fill...

To get away from our society's reliance on fossil fuels, we need to keep innovating new ways to harness and use renewable energy — and a team of scientists from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden is doing just that. After nearly 10 years of work, the scientists have discovered a unique way to harness solar energy, put it in storage for up to a decade, and later release it as heat, as reported by Bloomberg.
