China's March CO2 emissions are down compared to March 2024 & down in Q1 2025!
Why?
Grid CO2 falls 5.8% in Q1 2025, while power demand grew by 2.5%. Fossil fuel generation fell 4.7%!
Why?
Rising solar, wind & nuclear generation displace coal/gas!

Spain hits first ever weekday of renewables meeting 100% of electricity demand
This was deemed impossible by so many fossilised pundits, and they continue to deem it โimpossibleโ even as 100% renewables is rolled out live

President Macron reacted to massive Russian attack of Ukraine.
He said that while Putin says to the whole world "I want peace," he continues to bomb Ukraine.
"The only thing to do is for Putin to finally stop lying. America's anger must be directed at only one person, president Putin,"he said
๐จ NEW RECORD | Fossil fuels fell below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record
This was driven by solar and wind reaching a record high ๐
In March 2025, solar increased by 37% (+8.3 TWh) and wind by 12% (+5.7 TWh) compared to the year before โ๏ธ

Tragic and inhumane images coming out from Kryvyi Rih.
Another reckless Russian attack struck a crowded residential area, reportedly killing at least 14, including 6 children.
Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, no interest in peace.
Day 128. No way that we stop. And they cannot consolidate โpainlessly,โ without years of instability.
You can help us avoid costs that can be avoided in our liberation struggle through sanctions that are tailored to push the regime to schedule free elections.

Good morning with good news: UK's huge 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm has its first turbine installed. First power will be delivered in 2025 and full operations achieved in 2026.
UK's goal is 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, so gas burning will fall!

Good morning with good news: Portugal is rapidly pushing fossil fuels off its grid!
Fossil fuels fell to 14.8% of its electricity in 2024 from 82% in 2005!
It's reduced fossil fuels by an average of`3.6 points per year!
Wind & solar skyrocketed from 4% in 2005 to 46% in 2024

โOliekoekendomโ, zo noemde de staatssecretaris van Landbouw het krimpen van de veestapel, in het licht van de voedselzekerheid. Maar is dit echt zoโn slecht idee? FTM dook in de cijfers en kwam tot een verrassende conclusie: een kleinere veestapel is gunstig voor de internationale voedselzekerheid.

EDF's flagship new nuclear power station in Flamanville - whose opening was delayed by 12 years - has been down for 76 of its first 100 days. I sincerely hope it eventually becomes a workhorse of Europe's power system - but don't let anyone tell you nuclear is easy.

If we look at the numbers,itโs obvious how enormous the contribution of the EU to Ukraineโs defense has been.To say that the EU helps Ukraine less than the USA is simply untrue
