Automakers are using a clever software trick to keep driving range consistent over a period of time.

It turn out she has a name, which is weird. Thank you, Connie Ballmer.

Trust your common sense: yes, a series of massive fossil fuel supply shocks is, in fact, going to radically accelerate the process of electrification & decarbonization.

The future is electric

Australia's energy minister is skipping global meetings on accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels because he has to stay in Australia to deal with the fallout from not phasing fossil fuels out fast enough.

Hyundai says EVs (fully electric) now 20% of Australian orders! Hyundai expects 70% increase in EV orders in Q2 2026 over Q1 Oil Price Spike 2026 plus EVs approaching purchase price parity make EVs attractive to consumers. thedriven.io/2026/04/17/h... #energysky

Heat pump orders up 2x in a month. Solar panel inquiries up 250%. EV leases up 85%. The Iran crisis has made energy security feel personal. I understand why: I have solar panels, a heat pump & EV on a flexible tariff. When gas prices spike, my bills barely move. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The fossil gas industry is buying up Democrats.

My latest: "An energy crisis on an unprecedented scale”: The closure of the Strait of Hormuz poses a potentially unparalleled energy security threat, a new International Monetary Fund report warns insideclimatenews.org/news/1404202...

Beginning to wonder if Trump hasn't been paid off by Big Solar www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

India isn’t chasing targets anymore—it’s smashing them while setting new records at the same time. 150 GW solar crossed. +44.6 GW added in a year (+87% YoY). 50% non-fossil capacity hit 5 years early. “Impossible” wasn’t physics—it was policy lag. #Bettrification

Wow, and wow again. Clean energy candidates have beaten a concerted campaign by Turning Point USA and captured a board majority at the Salt River Project, Arizona's 2nd-largest utility Lots of us pitched in on this fight, not knowing if a win was possible. It was! www.ariseia.org/news/clean-e...

The fossil fuel industry is probably the biggest fraud apparatus in the history of mankind. It should be joyous to take that machine down. #EEODayRI

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

"a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone" yet another pseudo-engineer sociopath mythologized by a lazy tech access press gosh, perhaps there's lessons to be learned there (again)

There's something just so brilliant about coal mines being directly replaced with solar farms www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/07/g...

Good morning with good news: Chile rapidly decarbonizes its grid with solar & wind! S&W generated 44.1% in February 2026, up from 40.7% in 2/2025 and nearly triple 15.9% in 2/2020! Up 25 points! Fossil fuel generation plunged from 56.5% in 2/2020 to 31.7% in 2/2026. Down 25 points! #energysky

This is the moment the market gets it. Not climate. Not policy. Not ideology. Just pain at the pump. Once people switch… they don’t go back. As foretold—Used EV prices rising. ICE falling. More than just a trend— it’s the whole system flipping. #Bettrification

Hedgehogs are protected under German law, and trapping, injuring or killing them is subject to fines of up to €65,000. 🦔

There's a lot of incumbent money floating around trying to suppress this message, but yes, a war over fossil fuels is having exactly the effect you'd think it would:

Australia just completed a 4,000-kilometer renewable energy transmission line — the longest clean energy highway ever built — connecting massive outback solar and wind farms directly to coastal cities that need power most.

I like this for a lot of reasons. But mostly because the path to decarbonization AND cost reduction is electification, and electric regulation is primarily done at the state level in the US. Governors can lead, and Spanberger is. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

I keep listening to podcasts with oil analysts & the shit they are saying is absolutely apocalyptic. If it stays closed, we're going to have to reduce oil demand *more than demand fell during Covid*. Remember that? When the entire world shut down? More than that.

Get it pressed now and manifest it into reality.

Even though it can drive 500 miles on one charge, it’s the lower running costs that Jay believes will make this electric truck popular.

Across the US we see datacenters taking electricity, water and land, running a slop machine at a financial deficit fueled by stolen creativity, taking away their futures and going after our individuality and sou-hey that speech was about Arasaka wasnt it.

The world is adding 1 GW of solar every HALF DAY. In 2004, that same 1 GW took a whole YEAR. That’s exponential S-curve disruption. Next up: 🔋 Storage explodes 🚗 EVs accelerate 🛢️ Fossil demand gets squeezed Sales tell you what’s happening. Capacity tells you what wins.

China donates 5,000 solar energy systems to Cuba, government prioritizing hospitals! Beyond the hospital network, which includes more than 280 hospitals and 430 clinics, the project will also reach some 2,000 homes in isolated rural areas.

Attending Carnegie-Mellon’s Energy Week.

We have reached the absurd part of the timeline where idiots crown themselves Gods.

'Google moving ahead with data center in Michigan...features 20-year electricity contract...required to cover the full expense of adding new clean power...expects as much as one GW of electricity demand...served by 2.7 GW of new resources, solar, storage & demand flexibility by @tnorris.bsky.social'
