There is a propaganda campaign going on in Australia at the moment from the natural gas lobbyists with ads on the TV where they're pimping themself out as "partners in the transition to renewable energy".

Also this report is being used by both sides of politics here, one saying it rightfully justifies focusing on renewables and the other claiming it's being "used unfairly as a weapon" against nuclear energy. Also, the latter is pimping nuclear instead largely because they're controled by mining companies who have a lot of political influence here oh and we also happen to dig that shit out of the ground.
