Chinese researchers report 700 Wh/kg lithium-metal battery
A team from Nankai University and the Shanghai Institute of Space Power-Sources has developed a hydrofluorocarbon electrolyte enabling lithium-metal cells to operate at temperatures as low as -70 C.

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching. Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher. That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).

We bought an EV years ago and have so far saved over $7000 in avoided gas costs. And our electricity is now free because our solar panels have completely paid for themselves in saved electricity costs. My interest in the price of fossil fuels is purely political.

This is also a counterpoint to several articles saying that Pakistan has been doing better because it has lots of solar - not untrue, it *has* to be doing better than it would have been without the solar, but it's still not great. And a lot of the data is estimated for Pakistan.

IMO, a substantial part of the world will take the Gulf crisis as a signal to increase & diversify fossil fuel production, & another part will see it as a signal to cleanly electrify. The two dynamics will lead to faster ~2/3-3/4 clean transition, & longer, thicker fossil tail 1/

As of Dec 2025, China has more than 1,000 watts of solar capacity installed per capita. That's roughly 2.5 standard 400W solar panels per person ☀️ Half of that capacity was built in just the last 24 months! It has already overtaken the US and the gap is quickly getting bigger.

Anyone who thinks hydrogen is the solution to energy security in Europe is flat wrong. You would need to believe the price of natural gas is going up 5x and staying there for 15 years! It would be like buying a fleet of snowploughs in case it snows in Riyadh, except at a cost of trillions of euros.

The final report of the Expert Panel on the 28 April 2025 blackout in continental Spain and Portugal identifies the causes of the blackout and outlines recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s interconnected electricity system. It was prepared by a technical Expert Panel of 49 members, including representatives from Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), ACER and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and was chaired by experts from two unaffected TSOs.
