Green power: 'In his victory speech, Khan vowed to continue enacting policies meant to limit carbon emissions...' and pledged to press ahead with “world-leading green action” after winning historic third term.

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

NEW: London Mayor Sadiq Khan⁩ re-elected for 3rd term. Described as “divisive” & “anti-car” in the article, this is more evidence that being willing to challenge the strangle-hold that #CarDependency has on cities isn’t the political negative some think time.com/6974786/labour…

Julien Jomaux RethinkX suggests that the cheapest replacement for seasonal storage isn't some new kind of long-term storage, but overbuilding generation capacity and using the same short-term storage all year round.

Battery recycling shatters the myth of electric-vehicle waste

EV battery recycling is already profitable and capable of recovering more than 95% of the key minerals

See the forthcoming Student Energy and New Energy Nexus collab! Thanks Jason Jacobs

Obviously this battery electric container ship doesn't exist. Batteries are too expensive and energy density is not high enough. And also you can't use batteries for heavy duty trucks. Let us stick with the in-the-box-thinking

Remember all the people saying that batteries couldn't scale. They're the same people who said that solar couldn't. Now that both are scaling it's a virtuous cycle. It's not going to stop them saying it but we should stop listening to them when they say it.

Paris is in the middle of a plan to transform into a 100% cycling city. They are also poised to introduce “pedestrian hearts” in each district, inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks, reserving areas for pedestrians, cyclists & public transport. Momentum Mag momentummag.com/paris-to-showc…

Historic moment in #ClimateAction : Nearly every day for the last six weeks, CA’s electric grid has run on 100% clean energy sources like solar and wind for hours at a time. 📷California is breaking records and we love to see it!

We obviously need a major technological breakthrough in energy storage for batteries to be useful on the grid. Or that’s what I’m told.

china quietly shifts the focus from nuclear to renewables.

under new plans, nuclear targets lowered. wind and solar will provide 85% of the country’s new low emissions energy generation.

Thrilled to stand with California Governor Gavin Newsom
as he highlighted the role that batteries are playing to decarbonizing our economy. In addition, the Gov highlighted that for the past month we have hit 100% clean energy for a part of each day. Amazing

Matt Eggers 🇺🇸🌳🌎💡 Danny Kennedy Yesterday's delivery of solar, wind & battery storage demonstrates what we Earthlings can do when we unite our ingenuity, technology, and action. 'If it's been done, it must be possible'. Happy Earth Day!

The world's fifth-largest economy now regularly generates more renewable energy than it needs.

'On 34 of the 42 days to April 18, the US state saw periods where wind, solar and hydro output exceeded total electricity demand'

Very helpful. Thank you

This is astonishing. 6 GW of battery power on the Calif grid last night. That’s the equivalent of 6 coal plants from next to nothing a few years ago. Many takeaways but one is that when something is small, modular, and easily sited you can deploy it fast.
