Corporate ass-covering and lawfare ... why not just do the right thing? I wonder how the folks at Lego think the bullshit being pulled by Bricks & Minifigs is reflecting on their multibillion-dollar brand?

Turns out you did need our aluminum, and btw we've found another buyer at a premium. Enjoy the shortfall, getting it from dubious countries and waiting another decade to get domestic production increased. Trump is the stupidest man alive, every new day confirms it and Canada perseveres. #cdnpoli

Solar power expected to soon be cheaper than natural gas power in Anchorage, writes @alaska.bsky.social for the @alaskabeacon.com alaskabeacon.com/briefs/solar...

Flanders' has launched an ambitious program to deploy #solarpanels along highway infrastructure. Sound barriers along the E40 and E17 motorways near Ghent and Antwerp have been fitted with integrated solar panels — their south-facing surfaces generating electricity fed into adjacent grid connections

This happened while the 🍊 was calling Canada the “51st state”, saying we’re “not a real country” & disrespecting our PM. While using tariffs as weapons & firing the annexation threats. But this is the whole thing — we didn’t do it for him. We did it for the stranded Americans. For our friends.

Man whose job is to understand Canada admits be has no understanding of Canada. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

The loss of the USA hits a lot of Canadians hard, for decades they've been our close cousins to the south. We loved to visit, we shared family, friends and good times together, we accepted our differences and enjoyed each other's idiosyncrasies but now we watch, horrified at what the USA has become.

Hear me out, this "Gaming Pillow" (by LULULOOK) might look stupid but with the addition of a Bluetooth trackball you can open up previously unplayable or difficult to play titles for your Steamdeck. Also useful with a controller and/or a half/full keyboard. #steamdeck #gaming #lululook

Solar panels built over an irrigation canal are winning praise for producing power while cutting evaporation www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/s...

Solar and wind generated more electricity globally than gas power for the first time in April. At 531 TWh, electricity generated from wind and solar reached a new global record in April 2026. www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/22/s...

So Much Winning.

Uh oh

"April 2026 marked the first time globally that electricity generation from solar and wind exceeded that from gas. The two renewable sources accounted for 22% of global electricity generation, while gas-fired power plants supplied 20%" www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/22/s...

France floods Europe's grid with solar, pushing prices negative www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Watching old episodes of Columbo, Rockford and various 70s dramas/sitcoms and what makes them feel familiar and friendly isn't just the main characters, it's also the collection of recognizable background players we saw everywhere on TV back when the media world was a much smaller place. #nostalgia

The US shits all over Canada, keeps trying to destroy us, threatens our entire country by telling us what they want, what we can’t do, and then goes all psycho 2.0 when we move on from their abusive toxicity. We are not your punching bag, fix your own damn house, clean up in aisle 4 #NotSorry

China is electrifying its trucking fleet so fast that it is reshaping global diesel demand. ✅ China’s electric vehicles are cutting oil demand by equivalent of 1 million barrels/day ✅ China’s transport sector is forecast to use 40% less diesel in 2030 than 2024 www.linkedin.com/posts/gavinm...

“Cheap solar is “enabling India to develop without the long fossil-fuel detour taken by the West and China. China built on coal; India is building on sun. And what India is doing could also be mirrored in other emerging economies.”  e360.yale.edu/features/ind...

"Together, wind and solar generated 22% of global electricity in April, compared with 20% from gas." More evidence: low cost wins in power generation. Gas is expensive and getting more expensive.

Solar plus storage in India is cheaper than building fossil fuel power plants. So they build the solar.

Everything named Trump is a scam. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

We have a Lithium Battery plant headed to my county. Not a good fit. This is intriguing. Found it in LinkedIn Science account. #BlueCrew #Ecofriendlybatteries

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

Norway generates approx 98% of its domestic electricity from renewable sources heavily driven by its vast hydropower infrastructure. While remaining a major oil & gas exporter, the country leads globally in electrifying transport & heating & aims to allocate areas for 30 GW of offshore wind by 2040.

Pakistan: solar just overtook coal as the largest single source of electricity. 21% of power from solar in 2025. Up from 2% in 2019. Coal peaked at 20% in 2020. Want to read more about one of the fastest solar transitions anywhere in the world? Sign up to my Substack janrosenow.substack.com

Just one year of Walt Disney World's solar output could power the monorail for 34 years. Disney shared that figure alongside the announcement that four solar projects can now meet 100% of the resort's daytime energy needs. ☀️ Read more: blogmickey.com/2026/04/walt...

China switched on the world’s largest open-sea offshore solar farm in late 2025. 2.3M panels. 2,934 steel platforms. Built offshore to survive force-11 gales & sea ice. Powers ~2.67M people. And yes… they’re farming fish underneath it too. Solar above. Food below. Fossils below both.

Guess who's got $49.11 burning a hole in his pocket ... sandwiches anyone? 🤣

Repost if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Here's the thing, sports have always been an opiate of the masses, a way to distract the populace from current political, societal and economic issues but now they've become walled-off and unavailable, reduced to being a source of oligarch revenue and losing the very attention they require to exist.

Celebrity Jeopardy is the kiddie table of Jeopardy tournaments. It had to be said.

"the dramatic cost declines in batteries have now made 'firm renewables' — solar or wind paired with batteries — cheaper than fossil fuels in many parts of the world." This is game changing.

In 55 countries, wind and solar generated more electricity than coal in 2025. 34 of them have near-zero coal left. Spain crossed over in 2009. The UK in 2016. The USA last year. Different grids, different politics, same pattern. Want more of this? Sign up here janrosenow.substack.com

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.
