Rising solar panel imports in Africa can help replace oil imports🛢️ Given that solar panels can pay for themselves in diesel savings in as little as 6 months, rising solar panel imports across Africa can set it up for an affordable & clean future 🌍💵 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

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.

Energy does not come from the generator. You have to buy fuel. Fuel has to be extracted, refined, transported, waste disposed of, etc. That costs money. It is not free to run a coal or gas plant. If it were, they would outbid wind and solar. You are not maintaining “two grids”

The share of battery-electric cars in Europe is only going in one direction: Upwards. But there are remarkable differences amongst countries with some countries exceeding 50% and others below 5%. Much of this can be explained by policy or absence of it. Source Electric Nick

“China’s Dongfang Electric has installed a 26-megawatt offshore wind turbine, snatching the title of world’s most powerful from Siemens Gamesa’s 21.5 turbine in Denmark.”

Ummm, yeah

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to do wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables unless onsite. But what critics conveniently forget is huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Texas. 👇

EVs were once expensive everywhere. Affordable full-electric (BEV) models are now arriving in Europe. The number of affordable BEVs, costing less than 25,000 euros (~$29,000), jumps to nine in 2025. By 2027, 19 affordable BEVs are expected in Europe. transportenvironment.org/articles/ev-pr…

Via JPM's Michael Cembalest, AI-related stocks have driven: - 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT’s launch in November 2022 - 80% of earnings growth over the same period - 90% of capital spending growth - Data centers are now eclipsing office construction spending. - In the PJM

SEEC Clean Energy Deployment Task Force's Rep. Sean Casten & Rep. Mike Levin unveiled the Cheap Energy Act, a comprehensive approach to lowering American consumers’ energy costs. The cheapest, most reliable forms of energy are also the cleanest.

US wind & solar generated 20% more electricity than US coal in the first 7 months of 2025. Solar in July 2025 surged ~30%, compared to July 2024. Utility-scale solar rose 37%. Wind in July 2025 rose ~ 14%, compared to July 2024. W&S are gaining on gas! electrek.co/2025/09/24/eia…

Exciting new data from Solar and Storage Industry shows that, despite attacks, #solar and #energystorage continue to dominate new energy capacity additions in the first six months of 2025. Read more: hubs.li/Q03JPyW20

Still no response from the RTD on plans for the opinion section after the person handling it was let go. I'm not even sure there's been an internal announcement, let alone any public acknowledgement of the move. richmonder.org/times-dispatch…

Millions of Americans who rely on health plans under the Affordable Care Act could see their premiums increase, with some potentially losing their insurance altogether, if Congress doesn’t extend key tax credits. The enhanced tax credits were expanded during the pandemic to make

Just got termination notice of a federal grant focused on grid resilience and expansion. How does this support the goal of energy abundance?

The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: this is not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. Electrification + renewables are far more efficient.
