Good morning with good news: EU reached the historic milestone of 30% wind and solar for all of 2025! That is up from 12.66% in 2015 & 19% in 2021. Solar generated 13.2% & wind 16.9% in 2025. China was over 20% W&S in 10 of 12 months and ~22% in 2025. US was near 19% W&S in 2025. #energysky

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time. He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here. It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Thankfully for the Congressman’s son, he didn’t deal his meth from a boat in international waters

Despite all the shit show that is the USA Today, I spent a happy hour today removing 24 500 Watt SolarEdge modules from my solar array, because their incompatible with my new battery system while listening to @mliebreich.bsky.social and E239 of Cleaning Up. cdn.simplecast.com/audio/eb6553...

In Warsaw, Poland🇵🇱, there is a statue to Pres. Ronald Reagan🇺🇸. 📌 Reagan, a Republican, understood the USSR was not an ally. 📌 He knew it was an enemy to be stopped, not coddled. 📌 He would be aghast by how many folks today forget this truth. 👉 Putin won’t stop until he’s stopped.

@mliebreich.bsky.social there's a typo. The output should read "8.2 megawatts of electricity to the regional grid and 64 MW of district heating".

@jjsmart.bsky.social I did not know that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church was a former KGB officer. This update from Jason from Kiev is outstanding. youtu.be/bcB_faDfq4A?...

A good day with our new Powerwall 3 battery. Charged from 16% to 100% SOC, powered the house 5 ton geothermal and topped up the car with excess solar, and now it's back feeding "the grid" aka our next-door neighbor. Zero power pulled from the grid today.

@simonmahan.bsky.social in case you missed this.

Things Trump will defend: Slavery Putin MAGA Himself Oligarchs Things he won't defend: Blue States The Constitution Basic Human Rights Others that differ from him. The poor. The power is in the people, not the person in office. Always stand on the side of truth. Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote.

200,000 YouTube subscribers in 3 months. It shows the international community realizes we are not getting the full truth: Ukraine does not "need" a bad peace deal and Russia is not "strong." This is what is really happening: ▶️ www.youtube.com/@JasonJaySmart

@cleaninguppod.bsky.social @simonmahan.bsky.social yet another waste of public money on Hydrogen. Having politicians who utterly lack STEM training to the point where they don't even bother to ask simple questions does a huge disservice to their constituents. cleantechnica.com/2025/08/12/t...

I'm always super impressed how commentators in the USA are totally blind to the backlash worldwide against Elon Musk expressed by people not buying Teslas. Oh, it's the Model Y ramp, they say. Bollocks. Instead of giving Musk $27 billion, Tesla needs to get rid of Musk. www.ft.com/content/e05d...

@metalollie.bsky.social @spikevds.bsky.social I bring you Florida Man.

Oh, wonderful, rather than build out generating capacity with wind/solar and grid scale batteries producing clean, reliable, distributed power at a cost less than the fuel to burn once. Let's price gouge our customers while continuing to spew heavy metals on them. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

It really is like our representatives take pride in ensuring that Arkansas remains #50 in state rankings. Now, they're adding depriving their constituents of more choices.

“If wind is a bad idea, it will fail on its own. It’s not our job to kill an industry,” Rep. Jack Ladyman (R-Jonesboro) said on the House floor Wednesday. “It’s 20 pages of regulation and it’s government overreach!" Arkansas moves to ban wind farms. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

@mliebreich.bsky.social is this the ultimate corporate boondoggle or just fantastic waste. But it will add some wind and solar capacity. However, Wyoming isn't exactly known to have an excess supply of water. Draining the aquifer pits the project against people. glenrockind.com/content/4600...
