Really impressed with myself that I solved this end game. Yes it took me 6 days, but solved it I did! 😀

Preordered my copy!

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100% RE Last 212 weeks: 98.5% RE (1/5)

Exceptionally well done documentary on the liberating power of solar energy. Thank you @billmckibben.bsky.social & @jigarshahdc.bsky.social for the incredible motivation. 🥰

Dear @ukri.org, I think JJ Thomson nailed the perils of having Government agencies use “clear eyes” to decide where to focus research funding to maximise benefit to society. 🧪 (www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...)

Reading is what is saving my sanity right now. There’s not great stuff going on, and while yeah, I’m doing my activism, I’m also reading. Some recs on #books: @billmckibben.bsky.social ‘s Here Comes the Sun. Super interesting, compelling, optimistic, and a call to action. 1/x

++. Highlights @mliebreich.bsky.social’s Primary Energy Fallacy perfectly. 👌

@chess.com is acting weird today. Been unable to log in for hours now.

I love this. Can't remember where I found it but so glad I kept a copy.

This whole piece (and Part 1) is well worth a read, but here's the essence: "decarbonizing the first 90% as quickly and affordably as possible, rather than letting the perfect be the enemy of the good."

In the 1st half of 2025, @climate.noaa.gov 's staff were terminated, shutting down daily operations. Now, former members have joined w/ nonprofit partners to launch Climate.us, where climate info can be safeguarded from politics. Check out our website and join the effort today.

Definitely the coolest Sun Day video yet! Please watch and share (I promise you'll like it) www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoDn...

While the Trump administration tries to cancel offshore wind for "national security" reasons, here's the CEO of Ukraine's largest private energy company

During the day yesterday in California, >75%of all electricity was produced by renewable #energy, including solar. After the sun went down, half of all electricity STILL came from renewables, including wind batteries, hydro, geothermal, etc.

God I just love this…

The generation graph of South Australia is wild. Green (wind), yellow (solar), and blue (battery) dominate throughout the entire day. 😍

Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Y'all don't know what batteries are doing for you. Saving you some bank.

Most-viewed Guardian articles last night. Editors shouldn’t think that the public doesn’t want to know more about climate change. Or about ocean science 🌊! Read the article about our paper: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

and the NIST cops aren't about standardizing all of these different types of cops smdh www.commerce.gov/osy/field-of...

Loving @billmckibben.bsky.social’s Here Comes The Sun book. > Their basic contention about energy and poverty was both self-serving and wrong. Coal after all had had 200 years to solve global inequality, a task at which it clearly failed.

I hope people read and react to this idea: what if climate policy focused on flooding the planet with cheap, or free, solar panels? Globalize China and India's panel factories, buying panels by the boatload and just offloading them at every wharf on earth billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-modest-p...

After 60 years of trying to electrify populations with fossil fuels, people finally figured out there was a much better way. One with less corruption. Electricity poverty is real and clean energy is now at scale to solve it. This will unleash human flourishing.

Hey Folks...You may start seeing social media sites and a website for Climate.us If you see it, follow and share. It is legit and has some amazing, credible people behind it trying to plug leaks in the climate science world. Trust me on this one. More is coming....

Most people should use a password manager, but there's no one-size-fits-all recommendation. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...

Fossil fuels falling below 50% of global electricity will be an historic milestone. It will be achieved probably by 2028. Wind and solar gained 2.87 points of global generation share from June 2024 to June 2025! They reached 18.45% of global generation in June 2025 & 19.86% in April. #energysky

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.

It’s cool seeing my house ⚡️🔌 in perfect balance while L2 charging my Lightning.

This should go without saying, but the best thing for Canada to do as the United States quickly spirals into fascism and corrupt autocracy, isn’t to try to seem more like the United States. It’s to quickly double down on being even MORE Canadian. That’s the big advantage, the big opportunity.

if the presence of hype makes you completely unable to think about reality independent of the hype, that is not resisting hype, it is surrendering to it totally

Today’s the big day! My Sigenergy (rebranded as PointGuard in North America) whole-home backup system is being installed.

California’s grid gets a record power assist from a 100k home battery fleet

I wrote this blog to vaccinate my friends against the climate denier lie that we’ve spent billions on renewable energy but achieved nothing. #ClimateSky

Motherfucking wind farms…

An enjoyably punchy read here from the ever excellent @mliebreich.bsky.social about.bnef.com/insights/cle...

Maine moves up to 2040 from 2050 its 100% clean electricity goal! Maine was 69% renewable energy in 2024. Solar generated 21% of Maine's electricity in May 2025. It isn't following Petrostate federal energy policies. Instead, it is a clean energy leader. blog.ucs.org/steve-clemme... #energysky

What a beautiful quote from Guterres: “Throughout history, energy has shaped the destiny of humankind – from mastering fire, to harnessing steam, to splitting the atom. Now, we are on the cusp of a new era. Fossil fuels are running out of road. The sun is rising on a clean-energy age.”

Quite pleased with myself that I found the solution to this puzzle. Black to move. Nights are my nemesis in puzzles so when I saw 3 of them I thought I was toast.

One of the hottest days of the year so far in Texas: 53% of the power on peak is coming from solar & wind. Wholesale power is ~$20 per megawatt-hour or 2 cents per kilowatt-hour. No conservation calls, no energy emergencies. ~20 gigawatts of extra power just sitting around.

Making progress. Great way to (belatedly) celebrate International Chess Day.

So if you are looking for a project that really makes the world better... develop a simple and cheap solar+battery+stove for Africa

Trump didn’t increase the ICE budget 20x and start building concentration camps just to deal with illegal immigrants. He wants his own personal army, a federal national guard, like Putin’s Rosgvardiya. And he wants people to get used to their doing whatever they want, 4th Amendment be damned.

@johnarnoldfndtn.bsky.social: "Good illustration of how much the Texas grid has changed in just 6 years. yellow = solar; purple = batteries; dark green = wind; blue = gas; brown = coal; light green = nuke" #alwaysbecharging nitter.net/JohnArnoldFn...

I'm going to present a slightly different take on this article than most. I really feel as though many are responding to the headline. If you read the full interview, it's a different story. He's saying it's too late to avoid bad effects. He never says it's too late to do anything at all
