The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates. Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal. Five years ago, that number was

Remember when the US Department of Energy was downplaying the role of wind and solar in the US power mix even though wind and solar had just overtaken nuclear? Since then, the gap has widened further. Here are the updated numbers for the 12 months to October.

Jean Gay-Robinson said she ​“cried tears of joy” when ComEd switched all the polluting gas-fired equipment in her Chicago home to modern electric versions.. ​“I don’t have to worry about gas blowing up or carbon monoxide, that kind of nonsense,” she said." canarymedia.com/articles/elect…

Gas nears $5/mcf, up 53% since 12/2/2024! Gas was $3.21/mcf on 12/2/2024. Spiking gas prices will increase heating bills for homeowners burning gas to stay warm. Spiking gas prices also drive-up electricity prices. Reducing gas usage can save consumers money & cut pollution.

Solar and storage are literally energy dominance. It's long past time to end the federal overreach and unleash savings for consumers. Staying the course is a losing battle that's draining tax dollars and saddling families with higher costs. electrek.co/2025/12/01/eia…

California shut down its last coal plant last week and nobody even noticed, it made so little little difference. Meanwhile solar is up 17% and gas is down 17% from 2024. I have a few highlights... climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ding-dong-co…

$5.4 billion* for a 300 MW* SMR by 2032*. If TVA can't get it done on time and budget, no one can. For comparison, you could build about 10x more solar 4 years sooner, for less cost. Opportunity cost is a real thing with finite cash. *subject to changes timesfreepress.com/news/2025/dec/…

And, still, industry apologists insist that LNG exports don't drive up domestic prices for natural gas and electricity. It's time to cut that crap and acknowledge that LNG exports are tariffs in reverse - we pay for other countries to buy American natural gas.

Trump's EPA is proposing to weaken vehicle efficiency standards from 50 miles per gallon to 34.5 miles per gallon by 2031. Which is insane because cars are already getting 39 mpg on average. latimes.com/environment/st… via Tony Briscoe Hayley Smith

TLDR. Moratoriums on renewables are stupid and we should get out of our own way. #energy #solar #wind heatmap.news/sparks/seia-in…
