Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here:

Using 4-hour batteries in sequence (concatenation) provides for longer duration storage. Building out a mix of renewables - wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal minimizes the necessary storage because they complement each other. We can shift from fossil fuels or continue fighting over them 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

When customers have real choice, markets respond. Long-term price predictability becomes possible. A more competitive energy system is how progress moves from policy to practice and how local clean power strengthens communities.

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

If you are in Nova Scotia and are over 50, the health authority mails you a free test every two years. But fewer than half the people who receive the kits return them. It's a great program. Just do the test and mail it back.

This is important to keep in mind when we do things such as increasing SO2 limits to allow for dirtier coal to be burned to reduce electricity rates. Just because health care costs aren’t on our power bills doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
