The Renewable Illusion: Why Fossil Fuels Keep Winning Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Here’s why solar’s surge isn’t enough—and what the latest energy data really shows.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵

The sea front of Ambleteuse at night. In the distance, the village of Audresselles, on the left, the sea at low tide and on the right, the street. A car passes by, a couple sitting on a bench draws a dark line in the light of the headlights.

The sea front of Ambleteuse, Saturday night, before the rain. In the distance, the village of Audresselles, on the left, the sea at low tide and on the right, the street. A car passes by, a couple sitting on a bench draws a dark line in the light of the headlights.

A group of seals naps on a beach. One at the back is waking up and stretching feet up in the air.

Nap, wake up, stretch, the seal's way.

5 seals on a beach, 4 asleep, one waking up and stretching tail up, as seals do.

Two people are sitting on folding chairs on a beach. In front of them is a mug and a stationary farm tractor. They seem to be watching the tractor.

A black and white photo of a man standing on a beach, his left arm raised high, his right hand level with his chin. He is wearing only cargo shorts and a cap. The brand of his underwear is visible above his belt. He seems happy.

Excerpt from "Demon-Haunted World": I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

Carl warned us 30 years ago:

Late afternoon on a French beach opposite Dover.
A barrier on the sea wall frames 3 groups of people on the beach, a child running from one group to another. Behind them, a lifeboat is moored, awaiting a rescue mission in case any refugees attempt to cross to England.

A question I often ask myself. I don't show people in distress, my series on migrants doesn't include any migrants, but you're right, current policies in all Western countries increase suffering. Who can show it if not photographers? We need more social photography, like in UK under Thatcher.

On a beach with rocks in the background a strange body with 3 knees and 3 arms is doing yoga. Closer inspection reveals 2 persons lying close enough to be fused by perspective and underexposure.

In the middle of the night, two rescue team members are lighting up the shoreline with a powerful torchlight, searching for bodies in the water. We see rocks and crashing waves. 
They had received a call from a fishing boat signaling a sea incident. They deployed 100 meters from our home. They didn’t find a body, but a migrant drowned that night, 50 km up north.

Waken up by roaring engines and blue flashlights. A fishing boat had signalled a sea incident to the Sea Rescue Team. They deployed 100 meters from our home. They didn’t find a body, but a migrant drowned that night, 50 km up north.

Close up from above of something looking like a rocky landscape with strange pyramidal tree growing on top of a hill. 
In fact, it is a clump of moss growing on the bark of a cherry tree. The moss is less than 2mm in height. 
Picture taken in the garden with a 185/2.5 macro lens.

A woman wearing dark bad weather clothes walks along a beach towards her dog, a playful border collie teasing her into picking up the ball.

A man doing TaÏ Chi, standing on 1 foot, arms and one leg up. On a beach with rocks in the background. His doc, which was totally impervious to Taï Chi, was more interested in another dogs, as seen in the next picture.
The dog of the Taï Chi man from the previous photo is interested in another dog, playing with a woman, on the same beach with other rocks in the background

Ah, I remember that image … No problem for me with digital trickery, every photo is an interpretation anyway. Well done.
