This is truly mind-blowing: Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales - achieved in about 13 years. More in my next substack newsletter. Sign up here: substack.com/@janrosenow

Huge opportunity for Australia 🇦🇺 to attract the best and brightest researchers 👏 universitybusiness.com/research-cut...

In Seattle's Pike Place Market, vendors claimed that removing cars would cripple them. Nope. Sales actually rose. Remember: Studies show that biz owners consistently exaggerate how many customers drive and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Info: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The average new car in the ‌U.S. has a list price of $51,456, according to KBB. In China, there are more than 200 battery-powered models, including hybrids, at less than $25,000, according to DCar, an information and trading platform. Five best-selling electric vehicles in China under $12,000.

The mechanics behind modern polls have changed beyond recognition over the past decade, with the industry’s wholesale migration from telephone interviews to panels of voters assembled online who can then be called on to participate in a range of surveys. satpa.pe/Q0mhWfL

Only once since World War II has Australia achieved optimum outcomes through a full year on these four key variables: • Jobless below 4.5%, • Headline inflation below 4.0%, • Interest rates between 3.0% and 5.0%, and • Annual GDP growth above 2.0%. That was in 2025. The newsrooms didn’t tell you?

Electric vehicle ownership has reached a “tipping point” that signals an irreversible shift away from petrol cars, not only in China but south-east Asia and Europe. www.ft.com/content/ef33...

Look at this tasty little number from BYD, the Denza Z, with 1000bhp and 0-60 in under TWO SECONDS, prices start at around $55k, this is why some countries wont sell Chinese cars, they're way cheaper and much better.

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

Paris urban biking investment helps cut pollution in half: “Between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — 2 of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/paris-proves...

I just spent two days at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show (Auto China 2026), and I need to tell you something: the future of the auto industry is electric and Chinese. I’m not being dramatic. Just realistic. /1

Solar and wind now dominate global electricity generation. Worldwide, solar and wind power will each surpass nuclear in 2026. This surge has halted fossil fuel power generation rise, with renewables overtaking coal, supported by battery storage providing system flexibility at scale.

Morocco just activated the #NoorAtlas Mega Complex — a 20,000-megawatt #solar installation across 45,000 hectares of Saharan plateau. It's capable of generating up to 160 MW, making the first stage alone one of the world's biggest solar thermal power plants unfccc.int/es/node/21533 #ActOnClimate

Today's electricity production in Denmark is a total reversal from yesterday. Yesterday it was solar predominantly. Today it's wind. So good to have both Right now Denmark exports 2,5GW to our neighbours. CO2 emissions per kWh produced is only 11 grams. Amazing.

It’s an awesome flag !! 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 👏 www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

More than two years since California raised the fast food minimum wage to $20 an hour, a new study reports NO JOB LOSS and MINIMAL COST INCREASES. Our commitment to both California workers and businesses powers the Golden State as the strongest economy in America.

Data has revealed renewable generation capacity met 99% of global electricity demand growth in 2025—marking the first year since 2020 without an increase in generation from fossil fuels. #renewables #energytransition #fossilfuels #cleanenergy

The young people in our @obamafoundation.bsky.social Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica. This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

The price spikes we're seeing across the nation are directly attributable to Donald Trump. The surge in gas prices at the pump is because of his actions. This senseless war needs to end now.

Some cities in the United States are warming much faster than the nation as a whole. Reno, for example, has warmed nearly three times as much as the national average since the first #EarthDay in 1970. eos.org/research-and...

Like my new sticker? Runs on Aussie sunshine ☀️ No fuel stops. No price shocks. Just charge at home and drive. This isn’t a drivetrain swap, it’s a system flip. From imported oil to rooftop energy. Once the fleet scales, the economics break fast. Cost always wins. #Bettrification

Thanks to our Cap-and-Invest Program, California has now provided a billion dollars to help fleets and businesses deploy 11,600 zero-emission freight, trucks, and buses. While Trump forfeits American innovation to China, we're cementing our leadership in the green economy.

California's newest solar project isn't powering homes. It's powering your water

Energy #sovereignty and independence are winning the war of words for renewables right now, thanks to the #Iran war.

In Congress, I didn’t put up with BS.  As Governor, I will be just as relentless: defending our healthcare, our environment, and our democracy against federal overreach while building a California where families—not special interests—come first.  Join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/socia...
