The Middle East conflict is stress testing global energy. Bloomberg sees oil at $108 in a severe escalation.
We have seen this before. The difference now is that solar and batteries are more cost competitive. Every fossil fuel spike strengthens the case for renewables on energy security alone.
NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Il est plus qu’urgent de passer à l’électrique.
It was less than 10 years ago that this was considered impossible. And from what I read there wasn't much dissent. Everyone accepted this was the reality. Time to update some assumptions.

L’électrification rapide est un choix sans regrets.
Because the price of a barrel of oil is set by *global* demand, every gallon of gas (or petrol) you DON’T buy brings the price down just a little more and helps Ukraine fight back against the Russian invasion.

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.
This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.
Lors des épisodes de prix négatifs éolien et solaire doivent couper, essentiellement pour laisser passer le nucléaire, sinon pas de compensation partielle de leur complément de rémunération.

Imagine! How could wind and solar ever compete with fossil fuel electricity across an entire year, across an entire block of 450 million people!?😉

Malheureusement, c’est toujours le cas avec cette nouvelle dérive de l’IA Grok.
#China and #India have both recorded falls in #coal generation before, but never simultaneously like happen in 2025, and it’s all down to #renewables.

"China - the largest BESS market - brought online more capacity in December alone than the US - the second-largest BESS market - did in the full year! 🤯🤯"

The big difference is that solar+battery is fit and forget. Once it's installed, whether from China or anywhere else, it's yours and you are independent. No more payments to anyone.
With fossil fuels you're an addict, dependent on your dealer who can make you dance to their tune.
Les armes décisives contre les pétro-agressions russes, américaines, et autres à venir.
Nous sommes bien à l'âge de l'écologie de guerre.
China added 500+ TWh of electricity in the past 12 months. Coal fell ~66 TWh.
#Solar delivered ~75% of net growth in both China and the U.S. over the same period.
The difference isn’t direction — it’s speed. China is growing ~4× faster.
Now #BESS is scaling, turning capacity into firm power.
Toujours aussi fascinant cette détestation sans grande logique de l’éolien qui va de Trump à Poutine en passant par leurs soutiens en Europe 🤷♂️

2025 global EV sales reach 18.5 million thru November, exceeding the 17.1-17.5 million total for all of 2024.
December is the biggest sales month and will exceed 2 million.
2025 global EV sales will top 20 million and 25% share milestone!

🚗 Fine margins, but the EU has again broken its monthly record for the share of new vehicle registrations that are electric.
29.4% in October 2025 up from 29.1% a month previously.

GOOD NEWS: Solar and wind book again in 2025. Ember just released the latest estimates with solar and wind additions this year.
ember-energy.org/latest-insig...
Good morning with good news: Solar & wind will skyrocket to 37% of China's electricity in 2030 from 18% in 2024.
Add 13% from hydro and China is 50% renewable in 2030.
Add ~5% nuclear and China is ~55% non-fossil fuel electricity in 2030.

💪 Ça bouge au Figaro : La Lettre a révélé hier que le traitement du sujet éolien inquiète même en interne, à tel point que les représentants de la société des journalistes interpellent le rédacteur en chef pour rectifier le tir !
A lire ici : www.lalettre.fr/fr/medias_pr...
By 2030, biofuels are projected to emit 70 MtCO2e more than the fossil fuels they replace.
That’s the same as the emissions from almost 30 million diesel cars.

Cette année le solaire européen va produire autant d’électricité que la totalité de notre parc nucléaire, et ce n’est que le tout début.
Bonne nouvelle: il n’y a aucun moyen de production neuf aussi bon marché, avec l’éolien.
