Electricity generation by source (and battery dispatch) when Year 0 passes 100TWh in one year for the first time
Thin white strips of snow scar the mostly brown slopes of Front Valley, each patch the product of 1–2 MWh of electricity from snow cannons running through cold nights and dumping roughly half a tonne of CO₂ into the atmosphere. This is the new “winter” in a warming climate: a fossil‑powered illusion of snow, sprayed over fragile alpine ecosystems inside Kosciuszko National Park.
