Why are you surprised. It needs to be put on the dust heap and a new process that doesn’t require consensus should take its place.

Australia’s March Toward 100 Percent Clean Energy The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable. The work there could provide a road map for other countries.

The CEO of Australia's main grid says nearly 100% renewables possible by 2035-2040.

β€œOur old coal-fired power stations are breaking down; they’re retiring,” he said. β€‹β€œThey’re getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy..." #energysky

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Good morning with good news: China's clean electricity transition accelerates in 2025, jumping from 37.7% in Sept 2024 to 43.8% in Sept 2025.

Renewables & nuclear gained 6.1 points of market share in 9/2025, compared to 9/2024!

China may reach 50% for a month for first time in 2026.

India has broken my graph.
