NEW | Wind and solar just produced more electricity than gas globally for the first month on record In April, they produced 531 TWh (22%), compared with 477 TWh (20%) for gas. Wind and solar generation has more than doubled in the last five years.

Coal companies literally blow the top of mountains off to mine it and yall complaining about solar farms.

Great point. One of the big splits between tech/finance sector and general population.

Fun to watch the old world crumble.

Adding @defector.com to my small but growing list of media who aren’t messing around. They join the ranks of @wired.com and @volts.wtf.

#DataCenters #EnergySky #EconSky Matt's got some numbers. Pretty much every #localnews operation is working on data center cost stories and this can be of help!

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Pakistan: solar just overtook coal as the largest single source of electricity. 21% of power from solar in 2025. Up from 2% in 2019. Coal peaked at 20% in 2020. Want to read more about one of the fastest solar transitions anywhere in the world? Sign up to my Substack janrosenow.substack.com

it is my favorite time of the year, i.e., when my solar panels mean that my monthly power bill is < $10. we also just got a level 2 charger installed for the car, and as i’m thinking of doing some more serious renos to the house, i may get more panels installed + a battery. fully green house baybee

Funny things still happen over at the bad place This guy put a prompt in his LinkedIn and now AI recruiters are writing him in Old English and calling him "my lord"

Boy, I share this observation and have been obsessing about this video all day. In this paper, I’ll break down individual players’ microexpressions….

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

This is the gd best.

Good article from @inquirer.com and @jblumgart.bsky.social on a cool project near me. www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

This is the coolest. Great to the ROI turnaround so fast. And with fuel oil costs spiking 50%, those savings will only be more important.

Charts! Starting with the big one: Consumer prices in April were up 3.8 percent from a year earlier, the fastest inflation since May 2023. Over the past three months, prices have risen at an annual rate of 7.3%. #NumbersDay

What’s more embarrassing: losing to the Knicks or being tied with the Rockies?

If we account for the class of fossil fuel vehicle, driving a comparable size EV will save you money across any light vehicle class. MPG ranges based on EPA combined MPG data. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋

This is literally one large-scale oil tanker *a day* that nobody needed. Imagine not needing two in 2030.

Yesterday's @nytimes.com The Daily podcast was the palate cleanser we all need. I love the giggles when they ask questions about going to the bathroom. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/p...

I'm here for this movie, just for the ready availability of sheep-related dad-jokes.

Building a behind-the-meter gas turbine next to your data center is not a strategy. It’s Panic buying. And ratepayers end up taking it on the chin because of 50% inflation in the utility supply chain. Stop doing data centers the dumb way. www.volts.wtf/p/doing-data...

Far better to have @robdelaney.bsky.social on your side vs the alternative.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

Guys @lindaholmes.bsky.social’s Phillies commentary is a top 5 reason to be on this app. Reminds me of the days of yore.

The calm before the storm. Scientists, friendly reminder that you can always call up your local library and offer to give a public talk about your research.

Huge anticippointment day in Philly sports.

Re-do this graph on a per month basis and see how these line up.

Good morning with good news: US clean generation set two major records in March! RE (35.1%) generated more electricity than gas (34.8%) for a month for first time. RE & nuclear generated a record high 52.4% of US power in March. It was 3rd month ever of more than 50%. #energysky More follows

Impressive piece and graphics. The lighting figure brought to mind my favorite 700-year energy figure. The cost of lighting in the UK has fallen from £35,000 per million lumen-hours in 1300 to essentially £0 today. One of the most underrated progress charts ever made.

Unfair that flyers fans will now be punished by only getting national TV announcers for the rest of the playoffs. #worst

Phenomenal.

Mattingly era means Sixers win, too. Top notch.

Grateful to be included in this new #EarthDay article. *very* encouraging to see some of the best in the business emphasize substance and commitment over messaging. www.commpro.biz/news/earth-d...

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

This feels like the Flyers playoff game Gritty has earned.

The funniest thing on the planet would be if Stubbs, endlessly accused in endless comment sections of being just the useless vibes guy, changed the vibes.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.
