China: In the first half of 2025, growth in solar power alone matched the rise in electricity demand, driving a continuing decrease in the country’s CO2 emissions, down 1% y-on-y to extend a declining trend from March 2024 Historic carbonbrief.org/analysis-recor…

Solar generated 33.6% of Greece's electricity this July. It increased 31%, compared to July 2024 & quadrupled since July 2020! Solar & wind provided 48.7% in July! July Solar Share: 2025: 33.6% 2024: 24.6% 2023: 23.4% 2022: 13.4% 2021: 11% 2020: 11.9% Solar Rising!

The European Central Bank (ECB) is introducing a new tool that directly prices #climaterisk. Climate-intensive companies may get higher borrowing costs. Companies with low emissions, strong #climatestrategies may get cheaper financing matochklimat.nu/europeiska-c...

Coal power is on its way out in Europe 👋 The EU's three largest coal power producers Germany, Poland and Czechia all had record low shares for coal power in June 2025 Germany: 12.6% Poland: 42.9% Czechia: 17.9% Across the whole EU, coal fell to a record low of just 6.2% 🇪🇺

Fossil fuels fell from 57.23% in June 2024 to 55.45% in June 2025 of global electricity. That 1.78-point fall in 12 months was ~50% more than average yearly fall of 1.15 points since 2019. FF may drop to ~46% by June 2030! Why? Surging wind & solar!

En kost med växtbaserad whole foods är mycket lämpad för styrketräning. Men konstant högt proteinintag är kopplat till snabbare åldrande. Rådet: ät mycket protein under dagar med styrketräning, för att bygga muskler, och mindre protein övriga dagar. matochklimat.nu/protein-mtor...

NEW DATA | In the 12 months to June, 53% of New Mexico’s electricity came from wind and solar power ☀️ 20 years ago, fossil fuels made up 98%. 10 years ago, still 91%… 12 months to June 2025? Just 46% 🤯 Electricity transition made in 🇺🇸, powered by ☀️ and 🍃

I don't think we fully grasped yet how important solar will be as an energy source. Great graph Carbon Brief based on International Energy Agency data.

The battery boom has begun🔋⚡️ 69 GW were installed in 2024. That's 66% more than in 2023. Battery storage is modular, flexible, fast to deploy and prices are still falling. Its growth trajectory looks more like consumer electronics than traditional infrastructure.

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt. This is simply false. UN data show solar 8x cleaner than gas, 19x than coal per kWh. Solar repays CO2 in 4months.

Solar will be the largest global source of electricity by 2033 & wind will be second largest by ~2035! Global solar generation will quadruple from 2023-2030! Why are petrostate politicos freaking out? See below & EVs. EVs may displace 6 million b/d of oil by 2030.

New record: The world’s most powerful wind turbine prototype has been installed. The dimensions of this are mind-boggling: With a blade wheel diameter exceeding 310m and hub height of 185m this turbine represents a significant leap forward in wind power technology.

Solar repays its upfront CO2 debt from manufacturing in 4 months and 57 times over its life! Solar is 19x cleaner than coal per kWh. Solar is 8x cleaner than gas per kWh. Wind and nuclear are even cleaner than solar. Gas is dirty, not "clean!" H/T Jan Rosenow

This is how large 🇮🇱 bombs pulverize the old city of Gaza. Everyone in a large are dies.

Japan, world's 4th largest economy, cut its fossil fuel generated electricity from 73.1% in June 2018 to 54.8% in June 2025. That's 18.3 points drop in 7 years or 2.6 points/year! Japan may be near zero FF by 2045. Gas fell from 38.1% to 27.4%. Coal fell from 30% to 20%.

Gas is losing global electricity generation market share! Why? Nations understand that gas price is volatile and can skyrocket to punishing levels, so they seek substitutes. Solar gains global generation market share. Petrostate politicos freak out! Credit Dave Jones
