In 1836, Charles Darwin visited Australia as part of the historic second voyage of the HMS Beagle. Though he didn’t make landfall on that continent’s northern coast, the Beagle’s follow-up expedition studied the shores of the Northern Territory, and the captain of the Beagle gave Port Darwin its name in honor of the father of the theory of evolution. Today Darwin is the territory’s capital, and it’s playing a role in a new kind of evolution for our species: the transition toward a decarbonized energy future.

Long reliant on coal to make electricity, Australia is increasingly looking to renewable sources like wind and solar. But generating reliable, renewable power demands shoring up the grid when the breeze won’t blow and the sun won’t shine — and natural gas power is an efficient dispatchable power that can backstop these sources, and help immediately reduce emissions from coal-fired power.
Donnie the koala needed help. Orphaned after another animal killed his mother, he was lethargic and obviously sick when a rescuer brought him to Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital in southeast Australia. The hospital’s veterinarian, Dr. Bree Talbot, could tell that Donnie had a bloated abdomen that was making him uncomfortable. She also learned that he didn’t have enough red blood cells or sufficient protein in his blood. But she needed more information to determine how to best treat him.
