Climate, renewables, batteries, EVs No FB, Google, Amazon, or Airbnb. Take action, ditch gmail, outlook. Home is solar/electric, gas disconnected. Banner is Layla - woman with baby whale by sculptor Russell Sheridan, #Bluesky above blue ocean (my photo).

Suddenly, its turns out that it is not smart to arrogantly shit on an ally that has learned how to down 200 Shaheds every single night and then wipe out and oil refinery or a military airfield with a handful of cheap drones.

Australia is trailblazing when comes to renewable energy, more so for solar!
Two solar plants had capacity factors of 41% and 38%
Battery discharge grew by 266% to 245GWh.
We have hope as we have solutions.

The data show that WindWaterSolar saves money, so why is the federal government trying to saddle consumers with high electricity prices by pushing more fossil fuels and nuclear? Not to help the country.

A 50% price spike isn’t a 'market trend' - it’s a mugging. Gas and oil imports are a ransom. 100% Renewables are the only true declaration of independence. Stop paying the extortionists. Cut the cord.

Countries aren't going clean just for the planet anymore.

Ethiopia banned gas cars because they don't want to keep paying for fuel imports. Big hydro dam + excess electricity = why wouldn't you?

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.

A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026.

OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down.

China didn't accidentally dominate clean energy β€” they planned it.

Starting around 2008, they asked one question: How do we stop depending on foreign oil and coal?

Massive solar manufacturing. A long bet on EVs & quietly buying up America's bankrupt battery companies.

The clean energy transformation isn't just a climate goal; it’s a powerful economic engine.

Exhibit 1: Clean energy - mostly EVs, batteries, and solar - fueled 1/3 of China’s 2025 GDP growth. Without it, growth would have slumped to just 3.5%

For context:
>Wholesale electricity prices in South Australia fell by 30% in the final quarter of 2025
>State is on track to reach 100% net renewable energy by 2027 or sooner
>Prices were negative 48% of the time in late 2025 because the State produced more clean energy than it could consume

While US grid demand increased 2.1% in 2025, California's declined 3.16%-despite 2.5 mil EVs in CA, lots of heat pumps, and 3rd-most data centers in the US

About 36% of the decline was due to growth in behind-the-meter PV

BTM PV is an easy way to reduce growth of grid demand

121 Electric Buses Are Now Running On Clean Renewable Electricity In Senegal - CleanTechnica There are now 121 electric buses, and big ones, running on clean, renewable electricity in Senegal.

Senegal now runs 121 electric buses in Dakar powered by renewable electricity. No diesel. No imported fuel. Just local electrons moving people. That’s energy independence + cleaner air in one move. Developing nations don’t need to repeat the oil age β€” they can leapfrog straight to #Bettrification.
