Global investment in renewable energy up 10% on 2024 despite Trump rollback Growth rate slightly lower than previous first-half years but sector still strong and resilient, experts say

Investment in #renewable energy has continued to increase around the world despite moves by Donald Trump’s White House to cancel and derail low-carbon projects.

Sadly, we could all be investing in renewables, but the evil regime wants to line their pockets with oil & coal money. We will be paying higher prices for heat & power, so f*ck the American people … for greed. 😡

Keep it up 💪

Australia’s renewable energy shift to be powered by gas Labor governments around the country have dropped their resistance to the fossil fuel and will ensure gas is essential to the grid for decades to come.

Australia’s renewable energy shift to be powered by gas

The ALP detemine that Natural gas will play a bigger role in Australia’s shift to cleaner energy ….

Are they fucking kidding .. 🤬

For the sake of all Canadians, and especially the younger ones, do NOT put any focus on fossil fuel projects. Canada can, and should, become a global RENEWABLE energy superpower. If you want an example how stupid investing fossil fuels is, TMX pipeline is over there ->.

“Companies can now recover their investment in transitioning to predominantly renewable energy — using solar, wind and batteries — in less than two years.”

Faaz Diwan, of Karachi-based Diwan International, a large solar and battery distributor, said BYD battery prices are down 33%. #energysky.

Renewable energy should never be pitched as a way of saving the environment.

The sad reality is that people just don't care.

Renewable energy, like any technology to mitigate climate change, should be pitched as a way to make money. And this pitch works!

NEW | India’s draft VPPA rules could allow 100% renewables claims without storage or grid support.

By relying on renewable energy certificates, they risk promoting green accounting over real decarbonisation.

Some good news from Texas! The anti-renewable energy bills aren’t moving ahead (for now) because it looks like businesses and communities actually like them.

Texas Republicans fail in move to curb renewable energy projects Backing for green programmes in oil-rich state bucks Donald Trump’s national fossil fuel push

A campaign by the Texas GOP to limit renewable power projects has failed, underscoring the state’s commitment to all sources of energy as it strains to meet exploding demand. A package of bills that would have derailed renewable power projects throughout Texas failed on Monday.

AI isn’t going anywhere. Those who refused to lean how to use a PC and argued in favor of typewriters lost their competitiveness in the job markets. AI will change the future, those who accept that will do better than those who don’t.

Advocate for renewable energy. That’s the solution to the prob.

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy Are renewables reliable? A new study says California ran on renewables alone for a record number of days last year.

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy.

The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone.

‘Fork in the road’: How a failed nuclear plot locked in Australia’s renewable future Australians have voted for something that will outlive the next election: the guaranteed switch from coal to renewable energy.

every single argument for AI hinges on this pseudo-religious idea that some sort of AI jesus will come down to give us the "real" answer to climate change (translation: a way to ensure the 1% stay the 1% at whatever cost)

It Took a Decade, But Big Tech Finally Loves Nuclear Meta’s deal with Constellation is a full circle moment for an Illinois nuclear plant.

A decade ago, gas was cheap and tech companies were buying renewable power. This meant that nuclear plants were closing or had to be supported by states to stay open.

Now tech companies realized they need 24/7 power and are buying nuclear power and keeping plants open heatmap.news/energy/meta-...

Scotland has vast renewable energy resources - and it's vital that our communities are able to own it, and benefit from it.

We're investing £8 million to support more local renewable energy projects, which will help keep wealth in local areas and reduce energy costs.

President-elect Lee Jae-myung can turn the page on the previous government’s “blocker” role on #climate.

'With a barely regulated industry, ministers desperate to attract investment, absentee investors, and new technology described as ‘unexploded bombs‘ and ‘ammunition dumps’ what could possibly go wrong?' @anthonyrobinson.bsky.social takes a look at renewable energy in Yorkshire.

Image of a full page ad in the Hill Times with the caption: “Your full-page ad in the Hill Times on Prime Minister Carney and MPs’ first day back in Parliament.” The ad reads: “Prime Minister Carney: Trump-proof Canada by investing in people.” Below, on the left, a photo of Trump over images of oil drilling and pollution, and on the right, a photo of Carney over images of workers building renewable energy. The text above them depicts: No to MAGA Pipeline / Yes to 100% Renewable Energy Grid No to For-Profit Developers / Yes to Affordable Housing for All No to Corporate Handouts / Yes to Excess Profits Tax

Last week, we welcomed @mark-carney.bsky.social back to Parliament with one clear message: Invest in people, not corporations.

With the help of Leadnow supporters, we bought a full-page ad in the Hill Times, a newspaper that MPs all across Parliament Hill read, on their very first day back. ✊

Anti-solar bills die in Texas House Legislation that would "kill renewable energy in Texas" failed to progress in the state's House of Representatives.

‘Three “anti-solar” bills appear dead is Texas…SB 819 placed fees, permitting restrictions, setback requirements, etc…SB 388 wanted >50% of new generation from “dispatchable generation, but not energy storage.”…SB 715 wanted retroactive mandate that existing renewable energy install a backup source’
