Cars are parked 20 to 22 hours a day on average, which is plenty of time to recharge an EV using a standard AC outlet leahy.substack.com/p/my-non-fos...

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.

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

German Truckers To Face Over €1,200 A Month In Additional Diesel Costs cleantechnica.com/2026/04/01/g...

We need to see FIDs, but Trump’s attacks on Canada may have formally ended the Biden & earlier era of 🇨🇦 allegiance to the North American business model of ICE SUVs and trucks, with a fast transition towards the global trend to Chinese based transnational EV makers.

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.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

$200 A Barrel Oil? — Bloomberg Says It’s Possible cleantechnica.com/2026/03/30/2...

Ukraine’s leader says he signed 10-year deals worth billions of $ with three wealthy petrostates 🇶🇦🇸🇦🇦🇪at the end of last week…involved the supply and joint production of Ukrainian drones, as well as expertise, in exchange for Gulf energy and other “scarce resources.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

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.

The LNG we import in Europe is far from clean. Visible methane plumes at US gas sites rated “grade A” resulting in much higher upstream emissions. Auditors don’t measure emissions — they review operator data that studies show is massively understated. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In 2025, more power was generated worldwide from renewable energy than from coal, and 91% of new renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

What do you think about the chances of the Dutch authorities approving Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" @aukehoekstra.bsky.social? Elon Musk is playing this up and it seems a large part of Tesla's share price hinges on it.

Hungary has the highest solar share of any country in the world - 27% of all electricity from solar in 2025, up from just 2% in 2018. In August 2024, solar hit 37% of monthly generation. The country now has >8 GW of installed capacity - a target supposed to be reached by 2030, hit 6yrs early.

Tesla Stock Down Nearly 20% in 6 Months — Are People Giving Up On Tesla Robotaxis? cleantechnica.com/2026/03/27/t...

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent. In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country. This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

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.

Wind & Solar Generated A Record 17% Of U.S. Electricity In 2025 cleantechnica.com/2026/03/20/w...

How's everyone else's scams going? My scam is parked in the driveway and just started charging off solar power for $0.

"...in January, just seven traditional petrol cars were sold in Norway." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Despite the anti-renewables narrative, solar + wind hit a record 17% of U.S. electricity in 2025 Add rooftop solar? ~19%. No slogans. No spin. Just growth. Cost curves don’t argue. They win. This isn’t a debate anymore — it’s a takeover. #Bettrification

"...science is a 'necessary but not sufficient' precursor to the formation of an effective domestic climate change regime; it is 'only one small input'" Fmr IPCC chair Robert Watson, cited in @fisherdanar.bsky.social 2004 It was clear even then that #science alone would not compel #climate action

No one ever went to war over solar energy.

Oil price in real terms since 1968. Discuss.

The final report on the Iberia Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) blackout is out. Many will be blaming renewables and talk about inertia: nonsense. The cause was bad voltage control. Solar and wind could have helped but that was illegal. The fix is is surprisingly easy. www.entsoe.eu/publications...

Two technologies that competed for the future of heating and transport. The race is over. In 2025, 19m heat pumps were sold globally. Hydrogen-ready boilers: 237 units. The picture in transport is identical. 21m electric vehicles were sold last year. Hydrogen fuel cell cars: roughly 10,000 units.
