Also possibly not the smartest move for a Chinese car maker that wants to increase it’s share in a market with sceptical buyers and increasingly hostile policy makers to recruit one of the most toxic ex-politicians on offer in that market

If the EU were serious about food security it would phase out it’s biofuel mandates and diversify it’s protein intake away from cereal munching critters www.coceral.com/web/%20cocer...

Possibly yes, but Europes domestic far rights plans for Europe are as dangerous as ever

Why don't most Europeans have air conditioning? Dumb? Woke? No - WE DID NOT NEED IT UNTIL FOSSIL FUEL BURNING CAUSED THE CLIMATE CRISIS More info 👇 www.carbonbrief.org/eight-facts-...

Can’t belief I am going to end up cheering for England during this tournament, what’s next France?

Correct your priors: Private money is going after clean energy, governments are using public money to prop up fossil fuels "About 59% of all money spent on the fossil fuel system came from taxpayers in 2015. By 2025, that climbed to 68% and spiked at 78% in 2022." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“In Ukraine, security and energy have become the same thing” To prepare for the next winter, Ukrainians are racing to install heat pumps, solar panels and battery systems Windfarm construction workers sometimes spent up to 30% of their time in bomb shelters – and still delivered on time

Until the Norway match is over NO PATRIOTIC ENGLISHMAN can trade in sweet crude oil or light crude oil, or any futures contract for Brent Crude Oi in the Intercontinental Exchange at all, END OF.

Doubt this will be a problem for him, just like Trumps exhibitionist displays of wealth were never a problem for him

»Haben sich alle seriösen Medien unkritisch am Überschwappen dieser Kampagne beteiligt, oder ist euch da jemand positiv aufgefallen?« »Mit dem Gesetzentwurf haben sich keine der großen Zeitungen beschäftig, nur der @klimareporter.bsky.social & @volksverpetzer.de haben da im Detail reingeschaut.« 🛢️

We seem to have hit a nerve with this one and I'm completely blown away by the response. Close to 100,000 views in 24 hours for an academic paper on tabloid framing and the German heating law. I suspect it's because so many countries are watching the same playbook unfold at home.

Coal apparently didn’t get the memo that Hormuz was supposed to provide for its come back

Lost count how many times this piece of law been tested for stress, fitness, coherence etc There can’t possibly be a healthier piece of EU law on the books My only submission at this point would be ‘it’s fine and can you now please stop asking every other month for at least the next 20 years’

„Die Biogastreppe kann nicht funktionieren“, sagt Wärmeexperte Wünsch von Prognos, „wenn zu viele Haushalte sie nutzen wollen, reicht die Biogas-Menge nicht, und wenn nur wenige es tun, lohnt der Erhalt der Gasnetze nicht.“ @marcowuensch.bsky.social

Ich habe wieder mal einen Artikel gelesen, damit ihr ihn nicht lesen müsst: Ullrich Fichtner schreibt im Spiegel, dass diese Klima-Besserwisser, deren Prognosen jetzt eintreten, doch mit dem Schwarzmalen aufhören sollen. Man fragt sich: Ist das Uninformiertheit oder bewusste Ignoranz? (Thread)

I know some people get annoyed when I talk about why I'm a Republican... But I'm sorry...not sorry.

8) Double down on net zero, but as economic policy not climate policy. Stop talking about net zero and start talking about electrification. UK was fast to digital tech where others clung to fax machines; now it is fast to electric industry where others cling to clunky old fossil fuels. Own it.

K2 was meant to take this mornings 7:37 train Berlin-Hamburg to arrive in Husum at 12:00 for her first year school trip Latest news is they just left Hamburg A full day to cover a freshly renovated stretch that once took 1,5 hours IT/AT/UA rail: please take over @deutschebahn.com

@octopus.energy joins new venture to deliver solar and storage projects in Ukraine. www.businessgreen.com/news/4531794...

”What we are seeing is an aged grid and old power stations not being able to cope with fossil fuel-driven heat,” said Bruce Douglas, chief executive of the Global Renewables Alliance www.ft.com/content/5609...

"A solar farm on a rewetted peatland is home to more types of bird than drained agricultural fields nearby, suggesting that land used for renewable energy can make money for landowners, lock away carbon and boost biodiversity at the same time."

Outcome and energy of a coalition of the willing that came together in Santa Marta to work together on phasing our fossil fuel being handed over to COP30 CEO Ana Toni in a jampacked but just as energetic London room

First LCAW event being cancelled due to extreme heat 🥵

The electrification wave is here. Powering it with clean energy rather than coal delivers lower costs, greater energy security, a more flexible grid and higher emission reductions. Our new analysis, out today at LCAW ⏩ poweringpastcoal.org/news/electri...

🇬🇧 Energy Minister Miliband summing things up well at #LCAW206 #ElectrifyNow Campaign launch: ‘we are in the better lives business’

‘Powering the upcoming electrification wave with clean energy rather than coal delivers a fourfold advantage: lower electricity costs, greater energy security, a more flexible grid, and higher emission reductions’ poweringpastcoal.org/news/electri...

‚Hormuz has demonstrated that China’s oil demand has peaked. The past months of conflict gave us our first glimpse of how it will decline.‘ If this is the impact of current rates of electrification/EVs in China, just imagine the security benefits of going even faster on this globally

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas

New: Business Polling by @e3g.bsky.social @wemeanbusiness.bsky.social & @gra-3xrenewables.bsky.social shows: 90% expect electrified operations by 2035 with 67% wanting their country to quit coal by 2035 Full results available at: powering-up-business-poll.com

The German story of beached whale ‘Timmy’ is a modern-day fable. Continuing to cling to its survival against scientific evidence, as if it were a combustion engine. A rescue operation distracting from the overall decline of marine life, and it turns out to be pointless. And it all ends with diesel.

What if the trope of Europe's stagnating electrification is not true, actually? Why we may actually be living the electric revolution euractiv.com/news/the-ele...

It’s a miracle, not a minute delayed on a Berlin-Bonn trip passing through Hannover Maybe Merz/Merkel is right, and Germany ‘schaft es’ after all

Some interesting ideas but also a lot of amnesia in this, imagining a simpler technocratic past where EU leaders unisono sang from green hymnsheets and EPP embraced Greta, and Junckers ‘last chance Commission’ never existed

One of the most inspirational conservation stories in Europe right now: a governments attempt to sell off part of it’s natural heritage to a foreign oligarch has sparked off mass protests that show no sign of abating

In the midst of a global energy crisis, Philippine’s took a hard look at it’s moratorium on new coal plants, and decided to keep it realising new coal plants just weren’t needed www.msn.com/en-ph/news/o...

An increasingly likely nightmare scenario for 2026: worsening fossil fuel and fertilizer crisis, combined with record global temperatures and drought. Fossil fuel dependence really doing a number on us.

For an idea how bad those costs could become, see this recent report on the potential burden for the state: ieefa.org/resources/re...

Tom argues, that it does not make econ sense that 1) the new DE heating law would allow for biomethane usage in heating (a baseload that could be cost-effectively replaced by heat pumps etc) 2) while the DE power plant strategy requirs to set up a costly new H2 infrastructure for peak plants

Anyone got experience/recommendations for a good off grid solar/battery pack?

It's already destroyed a lot of fossil fuel supply, but the Iran War is shaping up to deliver the biggest destruction of fossil fuel demand in history. www.businessgreen.com/news/4528540...

Most important thing to keep in mind when reading these 2026 figures, including on ‘subsued oil demand growth at 0.7%’, is that all this is *before* the oil demand destruction and electrification drive triggered by the US war on Iran

In ihrem aktuellen FAZ-Gastbeitrag beklagt Katherina Reiche eine "Selbsttäuschunug" in der Energiepolitik. Tatsächlich fällt der Täuschungsvorwurf aber teilweise auf sie selbst zurück, denn der Text enthält diverse falsche oder irreführende Zahlen. Ein Thread. (1/17) www.faz.net/aktuell/wirt...

Very random sample but after a week of catching up with family and friends in the lowlands, feels like VWs ID7 is a big milestone: offering a range that makes people comfortable, and very clearly nobody wants a Chinese car
