Petrostate politicos & supporters unknowingly or knowingly constantly fall for the Primary Energy Fallacy. EVs are ~3X more energy efficient than oil burners. Electrification of transport is one example of how electrification slashes needed primary energy. medium.com/@jan.rosenow... #energysky

EV Trucks! "Adoption of battery-electric trucks accelerated notably, with over 12% of new Class 7–8 units sold this year being electric—a fivefold increase since 2022." "In the medium-duty segment, nearly 20% of new sales are now battery-electric." www.blackbook.com/market-insig... #energysky

Good morning with good news: China's wind & solar surged 29.4% to 1552 TWh in January-August 2025, compared to 1199 TWh in 2024. W&S generated 22.5% of China's electricity January-August, up from 18.2% in 2024 and 9.7% in 2020. W&S gained 4.3 points of share in 1 year! Incredible! #energysky

Coal Nationalization Trump Administration is effectively nationalizing some old coal plants to keep them running, even though their owners wanted to close them, and even though continuing to run them raises rates for consumers. See Michigan example. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #energysky

The growth of India's solar & wind is rapid and large, with further acceleration in 2025! July Solar & Wind Share 2025: 18% 2024: 15% 2023: 14.1% 2022: 12.6% 2021: 12.1% 2020: 9.68% India's S&W deployments in FY2026 are forecasted to be 35 GW, up from 18.5 GW in FY 2024. #energysky

Good morning with good news: India's solar & wind additions skyrocketed 123% to 20.1 GW in April to August 2025, compared to 9 GW in same period in 2024. India added 17.5 GW of solar & 2.6 GW of wind. India starts its fiscal year on April 1. www.pv-magazine-india.com/2025/09/30/i... #energysky

"Wright Is Wrong" by @douglewin.bsky.social On key Texas facts, "the Secretary of Energy is either purposefully misleading or misinformed." Secretary of Energy Wright said wholesale electricity costs in Texas are up 100% in the last five years." "That is objectively false." #energysky

Tesla sales in China fell 8% in Q3 2025. Q3 2025 is a faster decline than the down ~4% in H1 2025. China's EV sales are up ~25% in 2025. Tesla is falling in the world's largest market that is growing rapidly. electrek.co/2025/10/01/t... #energysky

Trump 2017-2021: Coal fell from 30.3% to 19.1% & fell at fastest rate in 25 years. Coal's fall began in George W. Bush years, falling from 51.1% to 48.4%. Coal plunged from 51.7% in 2000 to 14.9% in 2024. Why? It cannot compete with wind, solar & gas! And it kills & sickens people. #energysky

Good morning with good news: India's fossil fuel generation is having a very bad year in 2025! Its fossil fuel generation has lost as much as 5 points of market share in 2025 on a monthly basis, compared to the same month in 2024. Why? Surging wind, solar, hydro & nuclear production. #energysky

3 biggest U.S. oil companies Exxon, Chevron & ConocoPhillips announced job cuts in 2025 Exxon is cutting 2,000 positions. Chevron will cut up to 20% of its workforce through 2026. Conoco will cut up to 25%. The industry shed 4,000 jobs through August. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/30/o... #energysky

Brazil's wind & solar skyrocketed to ~25% of its electricity in 2025 from less than 10% in 2020 and ~7% in 2018. Solar drives the latest growth, surging from less than 2% in 2018 to ~12% in 2025, with distributed solar jumping from 1 GW to 40 GW! Hydro generates ~65%. #energysky

Good morning with good news: Brazil has population of 220 million, the 10th largest economy & distributed solar is the largest source of new generation! Small solar was 43% of generation built from 2018-2025, jumping from 1 to 40 GW. Small solar is a key... www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... #energysky

Batteries make wind & solar dispatchable. They also boost the share of a grid's total electricity that W&S can provide. @davidosmond.bsky.social shows 5-hour batteries can enable ~98% W&S in Australia's main grid. @wang-seaver.bsky.social dismisses 100% RE grids, but how about 98%? #energysky

Australia’s first 8-hour battery project to begin testing on grid! 50 MW & 400 MWh battery! Four other 8-hour batteries have service agreements: #1 is 49 MW, 392 MWh #2 is 275 MW, 2,200 MWh #3 is 125 MW, 1,000 MWh #4 is 100 MW and 800 MWh Wow! reneweconomy.com.au/australias-f... #energysky

One Decade! USA's wind and solar skyrocketed from ~5% to 19% of US electricity from 2015-2025. W&S generation are smashing records in 2025, gaining about 2 points of generation share just in this year. Why are Petrostate politicos attacking W&S? W&S compete with & beat fossil fuels! #energysky

Massive battery deployment is key for Australia to reach 82% renewable electricity by 2030, and it is happening. 33% of homes have PV. Power prices are negative 11%-23% of time. So, battery capacity surges from 3.3 GW now to 20 GW in 2035. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #energysky

Good morning with good news: Affordable full-electric (BEV) models are arriving in Europe. The number of affordable BEVs, costing less than 25,000 euros (~$29,000), jumps to nine in 2025. By 2027, 19 affordable BEVs are expected in Europe. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/ev-... #energysky

Incredible! China is building 1.8 GW floating solar plant that will operate in July 2026. Cost is $2.2 billion. China plans 100 GW of floating solar by 2030! Petrostate politico heads explode. Truly incredible! www.pv-magazine.com/2025/09/22/c... #energysky

Good morning with good news: EVs have ~11% energy loss, so "most of the energy that goes into the car ends up turning the wheels." Oil burning autos waste ~"80% of the energy that gets pumped into their gas tanks." Electrostate for the win! yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/01/elec... #energysky

China's coal generation dropped from 62.7% in July 2023 to 55.1% in July 2025! 7.6 Point drop in two years! Petrostate boosters hate that China is moving from coal to wind, solar, hydro and nuclear to generate their electricity. EVs also were 55% of August 2025 auto sales. #energysky

Good morning with good news: Plug-in EVs hit 55% of China's auto sales in August. They are 51% for January-August 2025. Full electric (BEV) was 34% of August sales and up 17%, compared to August 2024. Plug-in hybrid sales fell 7%. Will 2030 be 90% EV? cleantechnica.com/2025/09/20/b... #energysky

More solar was installed globally in first 4 months of 2025 than in all of 2022! New battery storage is also setting global records in 2025. Wind too likely sets a new global record for deployment in 2025. EVs have record sales in 2025. Petrostate politicos freak out.

Good morning with good news: Virtual Power Plant capacity grew 13.7%, from 33 GW in 2024 to 37.5 GW in 2025 nationally. That is equal to about 5% of national peak load. Residential VPP capacity surged 16%. Battery storage and EV participation in VPP rose. www.woodmac.com/press-releas... #energysky

Monopoly utilities capture of their regulatory bodies is the single, biggest reason why public utility regulation of monopolies fails consumers and the public interest. Great thread by @davidpomerantz.bsky.social #energysky

Petrostate Politicos delusionally say there is no energy transition. The massive flow of global investment away from oil and gas and into renewables, electrification, energy efficiency and nuclear makes their heads explode. Is that why they laughably say there is no energy transition? #energysky

Electrification turbocharges energy efficiency, as @hannahritchie.bsky.social & Ember explain. It slashes primary energy and final energy demand. Simply put, electrification means far less energy is needed. See page 48 of The Electrotech Revolution. ember-energy.org/app/uploads/... #energysky

Good morning with good news: We go to Vietnam, where EV sales skyrocketed to 28% in 2024, from 5.6% in 2023 and 1% in 2022! What about 2025? EV sales are reportedly ~40%. EVs also surge in other emerging economies. Why? EVs cut costly oil imports. evcurvefuturist.com/2025/04/viet... #energysky

True. CATO has intellectual honesty. Rare these days.

Global EV sales surge 25% in January-August 2025, compared to January-August 2024! Germany & UK up 45% & 31% respectively. "Rest of World" up 44%. Europe up 31%. 12.5 million EVs sold in first 8 months of 2025, with 1.7 million in just August. rhomotion.com/news/global-... #energysky

Solar investment tripled to $441 billion from 2015-2025! Wind rose 69% to $242 billion. S&W total of $683 billion in 2025 is ~4.4 times more than coal & gas total of $156 billion! Nuclear rose 64% to $74 billion; Hydro 19% to $70 billion! Coal fell! Gas barely matched Hydro. #energysky
