YouTube video by Just Have a Think Can Latin America win the race to 100% renewables?

Another great "good news" story from Dave Borlace on his "Just Have a Think" channel. Who knew that South America was doing so well with the move to a clean energy future?

As coal fades, Australia looks to realize dream of 100% renewable… 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…

Spotted this story on one of my other feeds - good to hear the positivity in Australia about the transformation to a renewable, sustainable energy system.

Labour admits Brexit was terrible. Now it's time to act For years now, the economic situation facing this country has been buried in the small print

🇪🇺 "With a click of the fingers, we’re in a new reality. After all these years of grinding struggle, the revolution came almost overnight. The Government accepts that Brexit was a terrible idea and is prepared to say so"

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/labour-admits-brexit-terrible-now-time-act-3980338

🇪🇺 Lord Hammond: "And here we are, a relatively small country with a medium sized economy, not in any large block, not a member of any large trading structure, trying to work out how to protect our economy in this new world order."

Jacqui Hames, featured in #TheHack, is calling on the Prime Minister to put the public ahead of Murdoch, and act now to end corruption and abuse in the press.

#India recorded its LARGEST ever increase in both #solar and #wind in the first half of 2025 ☀️🌪️🇮🇳

Solar rose 17 TWh (+25%) and wind 11 TWh (+29%) 📈

Solar growth alone was bigger than demand growth, while wind matched it.

YouTube video by Just Have a Think The battle for American energy supremacy.

With all the other major news going on at the moment, and with all the negative nonsense spouted about renewables in the USA, Dave Borlace's latest "Just Have a Think" gives another, better perspective.

The ‘profound’ global impact of China’s rise as an electrostate The country’s companies now dominate many clean technology industries

“I think China is using [clean technology] in a very, very geopolitically savvy way, taking advantage of America’s stupidity and regression back into a petrostate. China just wins. America has abrogated the playing field.”

World has reached a ‘critical turning point’ in switch to renewable energy Solar and wind power outpaced the growth in worldwide electricity demand

World seeing the first signs of a ‘critical turning point’ in the clean transition ⚡🌏

The Global Solar Council notes solar and wind are no longer marginal, while the Powering Past Coal Alliance points to the strong economic case for replacing coal with renewables.

Does the news reflect what we die from? What do Americans die from, and what do the New York Times, Washington Post, and Fox News report on?

Another fine article from @hannahritchie.bsky.social and the good folk at @ourworldindata.org

"It’s easy to conflate what we see in the news with the reality of our world, and keeping this mismatch in mind can help you avoid falling into this trap."

Where indeed is the wall-to-wall media coverage of this Reform politician pleading Guilty to Bribery?

Angela Rayner was pilloried across TV, radio, print and socials for weeks just for tax avoidance.

This is an important report and I think the recommendations need to be implemented now. We cannot let our institutions be victims to the same interference, mismanagement and political pressures facing scientists and scientific organisations in the USA and other authoritarian regimes.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Awesome! We've still got a long way to go, but the momentum is building!

UK will leave ECHR if Tories win election, Badenoch says The European Convention on Human Rights has become a focal point in debates around changing immigration policy.

The Convention on Human Rights is one of the greatest achievements of European civilisation following one of its greatest tragedies. To join Russia in leaving it would be one of the biggest acts of national self-sabotage in history and have zero positive consequences www.bbc.com/news/article...

Stop subsidising fossil fuels; stop setting the price of electricity according to the highest bidder (gas!); stop funding the fantasy of CCS. Renewables will get us there cheaper and cleaner in the long run.

Oh... Where's the humour? 😳

The Reform Party isn’t just pushing hideous policies on migration.

Its anti-abortion wing, shaped by the US Christian right, threatens women’s rights here too.
This must be called out and resisted.

The purpose of a community benefit society is to serve the broader interests of the community, in contrast to co-operative societies that serve the interests of members.

Any profit made by a community benefit society must be used for the benefit of the community.
