#Trump has launched another war to remind us of the danger and insanity of being reliant on #FossilFuels being delivered through geographical bottlenecks.
How thoughtful of him.
Never been a better time for decarbonising your home and life.

Environmentalists & #solar power proponents' new allies:⚡K Miller & K Conway.
Their advocacy is aligned w a campaign by mems of the C’s largest renewable energy lobby grp to MAGA-fy solar power🚨*Trump once derided as “a blight on our C.” American Clean Power Assc launched the “American Energy 1st” cpgn to engage Conway & conserv influencers “to amplify the benefits of solar energy” +“note the harm: could result from reckless trade policy.”

Christopher Luxon's mad plan to start importing gas locks NZ into fossil fuels for longer – just as clean energy surges.
It's absolutely BONKERS.
With the same investment in rooftop solar panels and batteries, we could have cheaper electricity, a more resilient grid and a more reliable energy supply.

India is electrifying faster and using fewer fossil fuels per capita than China did when it was at similar levels of economic development, according to a new report. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/01/23/energy/india-cheap-green-tech/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #china #india #tech #renewables #energy

Another win for the #climate:⚡"Dominion Energy can restart construction of a wind project off the coast of Virginia while it continues a legal fight over the Trump administration’s order to stop the $11 billion development, a federal judge ruled."

💙⚡Judge hands offshore wind industry another victory against Trump in clearing way for NY project.
It’s a win ror the developer who said a Trump admin order to pause it would likely kill the project in a matter of days.⚡It’s the second developer to prevail in court against the administration this week.

Coal power is finally retreating in the world’s two largest markets. For the first time since 1973, both China and India saw coal generation drop in 2025 thanks to a relentless clean energy boom. We are witnessing the beginning of the end for the coal era.

hilarious (not really) how trump has to order non-viable coal plants to stay open, so desperate is he to roll back the #renewables revolution

Dutch electricity grid operators will buy millions of Chinese “smart meters” because they were cheaper.
But this a bright idea security-wise?
And are the EU producers correct the CN ones were dumped below cost? Is this a good idea for industry policy?

Emeritus Prof Christopher May
Under pressure from investors both BP & Shell have retreated from their high profile green initiatives in the last year, but their biggest impact may be the cadre of 'new energy' staff & managers they trained then shed;
these people have spread across the energy sector, taking with them their knowledge of & skills in the green transition, having little difficulty finding jobs in the alternative/renewables energy sector.
Sometimes welcome change comes indirectly!

SolarCloud is here!
If you always wanted #Solar panels but couldn't afford them or didn't have a roof to put them on, no worries, you can use SolarCloud.
Customers can buy one or more panels, starting at $139 each, and monitor generation 24/7 via SolarCloud’s online platform. Credits are applied directly to any Australian energy bill and remain transferable if users move or switch energy providers. #Australia #Solar #SolarPunk #Renewables #Climate

I am so jealous of #Australia's #RenewableEnergy transition, and am almost obsessively following developments and technology.
But I am still very confused by the concept of negative curtailment. If one has too much available #energy, rather than charging producers for absorbing it, wouldn't it be more useful to have standby ability to produce green hydrogen, or desalination of ocean water? What am I missing?
