Dilemma of India's electricity generation sector:
Showing promise towards renewable energy while keeping polluting coal alive
Can the strategy deliver cost-effective and sustainable energy to Indian consumers?
Aathira Perinchery at The Wire deep dives into what's going on in

New from me: detailed analysis of the surge in China's CO2 emissions in 2021-23. I show the most commonly offered explanations - electrification, air conditioning, and clean energy manufacturing - fall short; economic policy favoring energy-intensive industry was the main driver.

⚠️ Air pollution persists despite improvement in air quality in April

Currently, India is experiencing unprecedented heat, which is likely contributing to the lower voter turnout.

But have any political party addressed the heat issue in their election rallies?

Varanasi's air quality ratings have been squeaky clean the past few years, but is that all there is to it? A closer look at the data shows gaps in collection, poor monitoring, and no change in ground reality 🧵

Read my report:
