Climate, renewables, batteries, EVs No FB, Google, Amazon, or Airbnb. Take action, ditch gmail, outlook. Home is solar/electric, gas disconnected. Banner is Layla - woman with baby whale by sculptor Russell Sheridan, #Bluesky above blue ocean (my photo).
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
Limiting global warming to 1.5°C could prevent over 10,000 wildfire smoke-related deaths annually in the US, highlighting the health benefits of climate change mitigation. doi.org/hbq7cm
BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines. f-st.co/NoKCPIg
Suddenly, its turns out that it is not smart to arrogantly shit on an ally that has learned how to down 200 Shaheds every single night and then wipe out and oil refinery or a military airfield with a handful of cheap drones.
Australia is trailblazing when comes to renewable energy, more so for solar!
Two solar plants had capacity factors of 41% and 38%
Battery discharge grew by 266% to 245GWh.
We have hope as we have solutions.
Just mind blowing. Solar and batteries can power this world. Pretty much.
The data show that WindWaterSolar saves money, so why is the federal government trying to saddle consumers with high electricity prices by pushing more fossil fuels and nuclear? Not to help the country.
A 50% price spike isn’t a 'market trend' - it’s a mugging. Gas and oil imports are a ransom. 100% Renewables are the only true declaration of independence. Stop paying the extortionists. Cut the cord.
Countries aren't going clean just for the planet anymore.
Ethiopia banned gas cars because they don't want to keep paying for fuel imports. Big hydro dam + excess electricity = why wouldn't you?

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.
A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.
Here’s how… if you don’t know why…

ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal, per TC
ChatGPT is struggling so badly from the boycott that it’s already running new ads in the App Store.
Today, an Atlantic reporter punctured Pete Hegseth and Sam Altman's lies. The Pentagon wants AI for mass surveillance of Americans. Anthropic refused. ChatGPT complied. BOYCOTT NOW.
What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026.
OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down.

China didn't accidentally dominate clean energy — they planned it.
Starting around 2008, they asked one question: How do we stop depending on foreign oil and coal?
Massive solar manufacturing. A long bet on EVs & quietly buying up America's bankrupt battery companies.

The clean energy transformation isn't just a climate goal; it’s a powerful economic engine.
Exhibit 1: Clean energy - mostly EVs, batteries, and solar - fueled 1/3 of China’s 2025 GDP growth. Without it, growth would have slumped to just 3.5%

For context:
>Wholesale electricity prices in South Australia fell by 30% in the final quarter of 2025
>State is on track to reach 100% net renewable energy by 2027 or sooner
>Prices were negative 48% of the time in late 2025 because the State produced more clean energy than it could consume
Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...
While US grid demand increased 2.1% in 2025, California's declined 3.16%-despite 2.5 mil EVs in CA, lots of heat pumps, and 3rd-most data centers in the US
About 36% of the decline was due to growth in behind-the-meter PV
BTM PV is an easy way to reduce growth of grid demand

Senegal now runs 121 electric buses in Dakar powered by renewable electricity. No diesel. No imported fuel. Just local electrons moving people. That’s energy independence + cleaner air in one move. Developing nations don’t need to repeat the oil age — they can leapfrog straight to #Bettrification.
Australia's most generous fossil fuel subsidy will pour another $11 billion of taxpayer money into the pockets of polluters this year, including coal and gas companies.

Love seeing stories like this every day.
It's imperative we retire vehicles with ICE on board, especially transit, as rapidly as possible for the planet and especially for the people riding it!
It’s fascinating to watch how the haters behave while quite happily posting about bands they like.
It’s almost like they don’t understand…! Hhhm 🤔
Being nice should be taught from an early age as it’s not always natural.
Came here to make the same correction and it’s actually not a minor correction.
Yes, not to distract from the main point but there’s a considerable difference between ovarian and cervical cancer.
