CATL has been an impressive company long before Trump 2.0

Global sales of electric cars continue to break records 🚘

In 2024, 1 in 5 cars sold worldwide was electric. In 2025, it's set to be more than 1 in 4.

Total electric car sales are on track to exceed 20 million this year despite economic uncertainties → iea.li/4mfHty3

Besides, UK fishing industry accounts for only about 0.03 per cent of Britain’s national output 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, had no idea the two deals were linked

Why would that be the case? I understand the country show has been going on since 1967, and it’s a completely different setup

Current planning law allows for 28 days a year of commercial activities.
De-installation of the festivals meant temporary commercial usage of the park was expected to be 37 days this year.
Hence the judge’s decision.

From the FT today: “Protect Brockwell Park has maintained that it is not opposed to festivals being held in the park and has pointed to their lucrative commercial aspects.”

Beautiful to see resistance to the privatisation of public space in Brockwell Park spreading! 🔥

Great write-up from the FT on the role of flexibility in the UK energy system.

Proposed angle for a follow-up explainer article: “How can technology help Britons save on bills and support the energy system - without asking them to change behaviour?”

I cycled across London to an event this morning, and the many cycle superhighways were all delightfully full of cyclists whizzing (at various speeds, but all faster than the cars) past the car traffic. Londoners clearly want to cycle and it works... more cycle infrastructure, please!

The parklet in Valley rd is now gone. Anyone knows what happened? It was there yesterday seems unlikely that Lambeth would remove it on a Sunday… @liveablewells.bsky.social @heartstreatham.bsky.social @streathamstuff.bsky.social

“Why Amazon didn’t show increase from inflation”… the sheer ignorance leaves me speechless

Starting May I’ll change my weekend subscription to Saturday only 👎

Only for Italians…

A battery for about $5k could cover most households' needs, experts say If you already have solar or are considering getting a new solar-and-battery system, we've answered some questions you might have on batteries and how they could work for your household.

Great to see a battery-focused policy from Labor in the run up for the Australian elections: 30% discount for residential batteries up to 50KWh, helps reduce energy bills and decarbonise the grid. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

who moves to Italy expecting lower taxes 🤡

These damned DEI hires

Just receive an email from @rippleenergy.bsky.social suggesting they are closing down the business. No official comms here, website etc. Anyone knows more?

Bar chart titled "Countries that have emitted the most CO2 emissions to date," showing each country's share of cumulative global emissions since 1750. The USA leads with 24%, followed by China (15%), Russia (6.7%), Germany (5.2%), and the UK (4.4%). Other notable countries include Japan (3.8%), France (2.2%), Canada (1.9%), and Ukraine (1.7%). Data reflects fossil fuel and industry emissions, excluding land use, sourced from the Global Carbon Budget (2024).

Which countries have contributed the most to historical CO₂ emissions?

Awesome! Now try adding a battery 🤩

Are these the same green groups that shut down nuclear in Germany? 🤣

The world is set to move rapidly into the Age of Electricity

In recent years, electricity rose 2x as fast as total energy demand

But from now to 2035, it's set to grow 6x as fast, driven by EVs, air conditioners, AI & more

The world is set to add a huge 5,500 GW of renewable capacity between now & 2030 — even outperforming governments' own national targets

This is equal to the current total power capacity of China, India, the US & the EU combined

Bar chart showing the global lithium production by country in 2023. Australia leads with 48% of global production, followed by Chile at 24% and China at 18%. Argentina contributes 5.3%, Brazil 2.7%, Zimbabwe 1.9%, Canada 1.9%, and Portugal 0.21%. The chart highlights that Australia, China, and the "lithium triangle" (Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia) dominate lithium production.

The world’s lithium is mined in just a handful of countries

Darwinism at its finest 👌

Poland has long had the reputation of Europe's climate laggard.

Not anymore - Poland reduced the share of coal in its electricity mix from 95% in 2000 to 54% in 2024.

Wind+solar are up from 0% in 2000 to 23% in 2024.

The image shows a series of six line graphs depicting the trends in global emissions of different pollutants from 1750 to 2022. The title reads "The world has passed 'peak pollution'," indicating that emissions of several pollutants have declined since their peak levels, except for ammonia. The pollutants shown are: - Sulphur dioxide (SO₂) – peaked in the mid-20th century and has since declined. - Nitrogen oxide (NOx) – followed a similar pattern, peaking around the late 20th century and then dropping. - Carbon monoxide (CO) – peaked mid-20th century and declined. - Black carbon (BC) – shows a rise until recently, followed by a drop. - Organic carbon (OC) – has risen steadily with a recent plateau. - Ammonia (NH₃) – continues to rise without a recent decline.

The world has probably passed “peak air pollution”

This chart titled "The world has passed 'peak child'" shows the historical and projected population of three age groups: young people under 25 years, young people under 15 years, and children under 5 years. Data spans from 1950 to 2100, based on UN estimates and projections. The blue line represents the population under 25 years, showing steady growth until around 2050 when it starts to slightly decline. The red line represents those under 15 years, peaking around 2020, and then gradually declining after that point. The green line shows children under 5 years, which has largely plateaued since the 1990s and is projected to decrease over time. The chart indicates that the global number of children has reached its peak, and a long-term decline in younger populations is expected.
