Going nuclear in Australia would mean overcoming a set of almost impossible obstacles, from legal to financial, regulatory and workforce.
Hybrid vehicles are having a real moment in Australia and overseas. The problem is, they’re not as clean as we think.
Researchers say eel tiles offer conservationists a new fish passage solution that could slow down the population decrease of the European eel.
Norfolk Island green parrots are self-medicating with pepper tree bark and leaves, to rid themselves of parasites. But is there more to it? Birds are known to indulge in alcohol and take stimulants.
For years, the ‘duck curve’ of low daytime demand due to cheap solar power has challenged energy planners. California is showing the solution is storage.
Taking more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere by stashing it in the ocean seems like a good idea, but it could backfire if tiny marine animals called zooplankton get extra hungry.
Two states have banned native forest logging, but it’s still happening in the others.
Our research suggests environmental DNA analysis could transform traditional ways of monitoring freshwater ecosystems.
Howling winds take sea salt from the Southern Ocean and lay it down in Antarctica as snow, then ice. Hidden in these ice cores is a warning about Australian fire seasons.
Costing new sources of electricity sounds simple. But it’s enormously complicated – and CSIRO’s GenCost report promises certainty it cannot deliver
Without Japanese public funding, Australia’s LNG boom would have slowed
Here’s how to reduce heat-related health risks during major sporting events, from the Summer Olympics to test cricket. Athletes, officials, spectators and volunteers all need to take responsibility.

Green bonds aren’t a new idea. But the government’s decision could help further integrate sustainability into all forms of lending.
Australia is likely to have a new environmental data agency. Here’s what it’s for – and why we need it.
Environmentalists have long been sceptical of carbon capture and storage, which began in the oil and gas industry. But there’s nothing else like it for storing emissions from industry.
Billionaires such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are among those most vocal about the benefits of exploring, mining and colonising space.
