Brazil is attracting major data center projects powered by renewables — but that doesn’t mean they’re without impact.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Laís Martins to discuss how renewables are going to data centers instead of decarbonizing the grid.

Trump’s threat to ban diesel exports exposed how easily more fuel could be poured on the fossilflation fire caused by the war on Iran, and that fire is hurting households around the globe.
If governments switched to decentralised renewable energy and clean transport, people wouldn’t have to deal with so much of this s**t

"The share of renewables on #Germany's power grids rose by 6.6 percentage points to 55% of the total last year, the sector's regulator said on Wednesday, as Europe's largest economy moves closer to its 2030 target [of 80%].
Within #renewables, offshore wind contributed a 31.1% share, solar 12.1% and biomass 8.4%, while the remaining 3.4% came from hydropower and other renewables."

This is not success.
It’s a system designed to funnel unimaginable wealth to fossil fuel corporations while the rest of us deal with soaring energy bills, extreme weather and the growing costs of the climate crisis.
They want us to believe there's no money for affordable energy, climate resilience, or a faster transition to renewables
There is money. It's sitting in corporate profit accounts

AZ⚡raised #solar panels on stilts over its crops so one acre could grow food & make power at once -then researchers noticed a 3rd job nobody put in the brochure:⚡skin under the panels runs 21 degrees cooler, in a C where crop workers💔are 20X more likely to die of heat.
It's infuriating: the #TrumpRegime refuses to embrace #renewables. Trump/Rs know🚨 the #ClimateCrisis is worsening, but they don't care. Their donors: #FossiFuel cos...

“Wasting China’s solar panel surplus is madness” says Adam Tooze.
Includes the fact that according to the OECD:
“it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.”

Even thought the #UK is north of 50° latitude, on a #Sunny #Spring day, it is currently getting over 40% of its #Electricity from #SolarEnergy alone. Along with #WindEnergy, the share is over 60%. Meanwhile, #FossilFuels (gas) is at or below 10%.

India “has achieved over 50% of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil sources —
reaching this milestone five years ahead of its 2030 Paris Agreement target.”
- (NB Generation will be much lower, but still!)

"Fossil fuel power generation — coal, oil, and gas combined — fell 0.2 percent in 2025, the first decline since the pandemic and only the fifth year this century that fossil generation didn’t rise."

Analysis of why the fossil fuels shock could drive the electric age…but only if we choose it over mean reversal.
“China already has the factory capacity to more than double 2025 sales of solar, batteries and EVs. What was once seen as “overcapacity” is now just capacity.”

Carbon Brief have an excellent Q&A on the new “Land Use Framework” and what it means for food, nature and climate. One key takeaway is that renewable energy space for solar and wind will still take up less space than golf courses by 2050 at just 1%.
This graphic showing the current land use proportions is illuminating. The amount of land used for growing animal feed, in addition to the grazing area is huge! #ClimateChange #CleanEnergy #Renewables #Vegan #Vegetarian

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.
