Conservationists double down on their determination to fight Woodside's plan to build the $16.5 billion Scarborough gas project, as a new report finds the domestic gas supply provided by the project is likely to exceed forecast demand.

, he highlighted the importance of keeping "the lights on".

Scarborough is slated to start production in 2026, with most of its gas headed to overseas markets like Japan and South Korea.According to a new analysis by climate scientist Bill Hare, the extension of Pluto's Train 1 and construction of Train 2 will increase domestic gas production from 25 to 250 terajoules a day.

Dr Hare, who received support from the CCWA for the study, said WA did not need Scarborough gas to keep the lights on because there would be more renewable energy options by the time it was available. Most of WA's domestic gas supply is used for industrial purposes, with only 12 per cent used for electricity generation.

But the report, titled 'Australia's Emissions Projections 2021', also said gas would continue to play a significant role, even as the share of renewables in electricity generation was tipped to increase from 15 per cent in 2019 to 45 per cent in 2030.

Could trench roads ease Perth's traffic woes? Plans unveiled for new Scarborough highwayWest Coast Highway in Scarborough is set to be lowered below ground as a way to ease traffic congestion. But it's not the only major bottleneck road in Perth where trenches are being favoured over tunnels. No. Roads do not ease but encourage traffic. Grade separation all the way!! Think of Victoria and all our crappy highways that are just really wide stop-start roads. Burwood Highway, Maroondah Highway, Princes Highway (st. Kilda➡️Caulfield). It’s all just intersections and poorly timed traffic lights. nope And Hobart's?
