Poisson homology is an important invariant of Poisson varieties. In the case of conic symplectic singularities (such as those occurring in representation theory), this is a bigraded vector space. I will describe how to calculate this bigrading in the case where the Poisson variety is the nilpotent cone inside a semi-simple Lie algebra. This answers a question of Lusztig, and is joint work with T. Schedler.
