Graph showing: Annual changes in World's power generation

This is what Ember's data have for "World", which is a very large share of global electricity generation. Coal is up all of 5 TWh so far in 2025, gas up 19 TWh. Compared to solar up 535 TWh and wind 141 TWh.

An interesting snippet of information...

Electricity generation from coal in India has dropped in the first 10 months of 2025, with renewables covering for all the growth in electricity use.

Noting, growth in electricity use is rather low...

If only there were some way, mathematically, to defeat 33% of the population. Alas, it is impossible, and Labour have no choice but to acquiesce to their every demand and nevertheless accept their humiliating defeat as a fait accompli.

If they believed any of the things they pretend to, they would not support dropping bombs. The "purity tests" is "are they willing to sacrifice people." And if the answer is "yes" then you HAVE to stop running interference for people who will eventually sacrifice YOU, too.

The leaflets they’ve distributed urging people to show up and demonstrate their fear and loathing at these rallies suggest that anonymous sources spread rumours of sexual assaults before the asylum seeking men have even arrived!

Plans to house asylum seekers in Crowborough army camp explained The latest Home Office figures state that 540 men will be housed at the army camp in Crowborough.

Far right activists descending on my area to demonise people seeking asylum is a far greater threat to locals than single men being housed in a barracks because the same far right activists don’t want them in hotels.

Think about how bad the violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank needs to be for the Zionist extremist Mike Huckabee to say that they're committing terrorism.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Cops Used Flock to Monitor No Kings Protests Around the Country A massive cache of Flock lookups collated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) shows as many as 50 federal, state, and local agencies used Flock during protests over the last year.

New EFF data shows police, and even Border Patrol, used Flock ALPR cameras to monitor protests hundreds of times over the past year. Searches were tagged β€œprotest,” β€œNo Kings,” deportation-raid actions, May Day rallies, and more.

It is actually worse. According to the interview, it was MeToo that broke her. Her example is that a group of Harvard students had the audacity to disapprove of a professor who had been in Weinstein's defense team being their housec dean.

All the freedom of speech people are just applying DARVO tactics in the context of racism, discrimination against all sorts of minorities and structural inequalities.
It’s just so crass and obvious.
