So yeah, I think we should keep the 2035 car emissions standards. Seems like a good deal. European Energy in European homes, buildings and transport.

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media? Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is. To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.

De groei van zon- en windenergie was zo groot dat het gebruik van steenkool en gas daalde in China en India. Nu de VS en de EU nog.

We even had 3 hours on Saturday when Belgian consumption was entirely covered by renewables. Great thread by @jolaveyne.bsky.social

It may have escaped your attention, but the Belgian energy system has quietly passed an important test. During the weekend of 4-5 October 2025, our consumption was almost entirely covered by renewable energy. And yet the system ticked like a Swiss watch. /

Van Bossuyt qui est toujours ministre, c'est une parfaite démonstration que la Belgique en est exactement au même niveau que les Etats-Unis en terme de democratie.

Comment recruter sans discriminer : “La Belgique a le taux d’emploi de personnes nées hors Union européenne le plus bas de tous les États membres”

Germany’s intraday market is the deepest and most volatile in Europe. More than a million trades clear daily, with 96 delivery windows open and prices swinging within minutes. For batteries, this is where speed and flexibility deliver exceptional returns. Chart from the Weekly Dispatch

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

Quite blunt from the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2025: "Solar Adds Hundreds of Gigawatts, Nuclear Remains Irrelevant in the Market" www.worldnuclearreport.org/IMG/pdf/wnis...

And a 4th reminder that a transition to 100% WindWaterSolar reduces the annual total tonnes of mining in the world by >84% despite the need for precious metals, which are a trivial component of total mining tonnage.

📉Electrotech is driving fossil demand towards terminal decline by 2030. The signs are clear 1️⃣ Industrial fossil demand flat since 2014 2️⃣ Buildings since 2018 3️⃣ Road transport since 2019 4️⃣ Half the world has passed peak fossil power Full deck: https://loom.ly/cHKJU28

China's ICE new car sales peaked in 2017. Seven years later, they had fallen by 48%🤯

Time to update your priors. 2000: Electricity was confined to use cases like cooling, electrical equipment, lighting, trains etc. 2025: 75% of the global energy system can be electrified ⚡️ Transport, heating, cooling, industrial heat...it can now all be powered by electrons

Begrijpelijk dat Vooruit "discussie" over Palestina wil afronden. Stel je voor. Een onderwerp waarbij ze kunnen scoren bij hun eigen achterban, kiezers én meerderheid bevolking. Ik zou me als partij ook focussen op verhogen kostprijs zorg.

Punt dat D'Haese wil maken is dat joden letterlijk afbeelden als dieren valt onder "traditie" maar als cultuurorganisatie Israëlisch staatsburger vragen om afstand te nemen van een genocide "de menselijkheid voorbij" is.

"EU went from 11% plug-in vehicles '20 to 24% in 2024💣 China went from 5% to 47% in that time! That's why EU doesn't want to hear any whining from European manufacturers about... 2035!😭💰 Although we must keep an eye on the movements of fossil money in the coming yrs" text: @luisvaldes.bsky.social

A country where the basic energy needs can be fed by some PV panels and a battery using free solar irradiation , benevolent investors have built a big dam and will install a lot of cables, hopping that citizens will have enough money to pay for the wired hydropower.

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

Electrification driven by industries and transport in China added 73 TWh of power demand which replaced fossil fuel use🇨🇳 Industries replaced fossil use with electric kilns and boilers while the transport sector further adopted EVs and expanded railways. https://loom.ly/psjqvhE

The IEA is now predicting oil demand will be lower next year than this year. "Meanwhile, global demand is forecast to grow by 737,000 barrels a day this year... Next year, demand growth is projected at 698,000 barrels a day" Subtle but also a very big deal. Structural change in oil markets.

The current administration has claimed renewables are making the grid less reliable. If that were the case, I'd expect states adding the most renewables over the past decade to have the largest increase in outages. However, the opposite seems to be true!

L’AIEA et l’Iran seraient arrivés aujourd'hui à un accord sur la question de la reprise inspections des sites nucléaires iraniens. Alors que le dossier est renvoyé devant le Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU, cet accord est une première étape importante pour éviter l’aggravation de la crise

Good morning with good news: China's wind & solar generation combined was 27% higher in H1 2025 than H1 2024, with wind up 16% & solar 43%. Battery capacity rose 69% in H1 2025 to 95 GW. Fossil fuel generation fell 2% from H1 2024 to H1 2025. #energysky ember-energy.org/app/uploads/...

Tackling demand is not only about asking people to consume less. It is about creating the social, political, and institutional conditions that make low-carbon living possible and attractive across the world. But high-income countries and groups will have to fundamentally shift and reduce demand!

🌍🚨 We cannot solve the climate crisis without demand-side solutions! The @ipcc.bsky.social is crystal clear: changing what we demand and how we live could reduce global emissions by 40–70% by 2050. This is not a marginal add-on. It must be at the heart of climate policy🧵 www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Breaking: The value of China’s exports of clean energy technologies hit a new all-time record in July, passing the previous high from March 2023. China exported $18.4 bln worth of solar and wind power equipment, EVs and batteries during the month.

Electrification liberates us from dependence on countries who would do us harm. It is investments in European tech, European jobs, better health, lower prices and so, so much more.

Wind and solar are the perfect renewable power pairing in Britain💨 ☀️ 98% of the time, it is either windy or sunny. Particularly windy days are often cloudier, while very sunny days are usually calmer. A match made in… Britain! 🤝 https://loom.ly/-pzxBgQ
