Wait, the United Arab Emirates is now generating more clean electricity per capita than the EU or Australia?

LowCarbonPower.org⚡ yip another nuke unit (Barakah unit 4) came online this March as well, pushing up capacity above 5GW..

More importantly, solar and nuclear generated 864 TWh in the EU in the last 12 months - 20% more than all fossil electricity!

Some peeps have pointed out the thematic similarities between solar and nuclear for a good long while. But the idea was to promote acceptance of both, not pit one against the other. Still, If we live an age where solar wants to be associated with nuclear tech then that's progress

Solar and wind power plants in Poland 🇵🇱 generated 32.2 TWh of electricity in the first three quarters of 2024. This is 23.4 per cent more than in the first three quarters of 2023 and 4.6 times as much as in the first three quarters of 2015. energy-charts.info/charts/energy/…

The US is generating more wind and solar per capita than either the EU or China, actually

Two different approaches

Bad arguments for nuclear: - renewables take up too much space - renewables use too many materials - batteries are bad - you can't recycle batteries - you can't recycle solar panels - solar EROI is too low - solar panels only last 20 years - hail - solar panels are "toxic" -

To protest *Matt* is to abandon anything even resembling a power analysis. It is to say, "if you disagree with us, simply have a different opinion, we will physically impose on you & shout you down." What the fuck kind of message is that? Who the fuck does that?

Running in Beijing - this was not possible ten years ago! 👍 How much China 🇨🇳 has changed after declaring war on pollution! Ten years ago I would never go running in Beijing. This week I did beautiful morning runs. The sky was blue, the sun bright and I could fill my lungs

I had the pleasure of hosting two of the brightest minds in Australian energy policy on behalf of Centre for Independent Studies last month. Off of the confines of twitter 💧simon holmes à court 🦋 and Aidan Morrison had a constructive meeting of the minds. Enjoy. Link in replies.
