This is a major milestone!
Wind and solar overtook fossil fuels in electricity generation.
And look at this development. just 10 years ago, there was a gap in shares of almost 30 (!) percentage points.
What a success story. And it's not over.

Freiheitsfonds Niemand sollte fürs Fahren ohne Ticket hinter Gitter! Der Freiheitsfonds hat bereits rund 1500 betroffene Gefangene freigekauft.

Es ist freedom day. 🆓
Ich finde es Wahnsinn, dass in Deutschland Menschen fürs Schwarzfahren ins Gefängnis kommen. Und wahnsinning toll, dass der @freiheitsfonds.de schon 278 Haftjahre aufgelöst hat.
-> Heute schon jemand aus dem Gefängnis freigekauft?

notes on gatesnotes, in a thread

"A new way to look at the problem" - er, no, he's been running this line for DECADES

On the headline: you can absolutely guarantee anyone presenting themselves as telling tough, hard truths is about to deliver some self-aggrandising nonsense

The final text will now be discussed with the European Parliament.

Update of perhaps my favorite global climate policy indicator: The production gap report.

In fact, the gap between countries' planned fossil fuel extraction and global climate targets has widened.

Turning the tide on these indicators is essential for climate policy success.

I'd be keen to put together all country data for the EU in some kind of a dashboard based on your assessments. Feel free to reach out if you think that could be an option.

Russland finanziert seinen Angriffskrieg vor allem durch den Export fossiler Brennstoffe. Eine Datenanalyse der BBC zeigt:

Die westlichen Verbündeten der Ukraine haben Russland für Öl und Gas seit 2022 (!) mehr Geld überwiesen, als sie der Ukraine an Hilfe zukommen ließen. 2/5

👉Trotzdem unter 20% bei reinen Elektrofahrzeugen

Fast 75 Prozent Erneuerbare Energien: Ökostrom-Boom im Osten sorgt für neue Herausforderung Fast drei Viertel des Stromverbrauchs im Osten kommen aus Erneuerbaren Energien. Vor allem der Solarausbau nimmt weiter zu. Das stellt die Netzbetreiber vor Herausforderungen.

Germany's East & North (50Hertz zone) reached almost 75% RES last year. Yes, almost 3/4.
That is incredible. And shows the urgency to work on transmission and distribution grids, flexibilty and storage in order to avoid 'Hellbrise' (lots of RES) becoming more of an issue.

FINANCIAL TIMES
Bullies often project, so take what they say
about others as an indicator of what they think about themselves. That has long been true for Trump, and goes for Vance's speech as well.
His most shocking line — "the threat that I worry the most about" is not Russia or China but "the threat from within" Europe — is best read as identifying the strongest adversary not of Europe, but of the Trump regime's goals.
Russia and China, after all, may be geopolitical powers the US needs to come to an understanding with. But they pose no challenge, let alone an alternative model, to the Maga world Trump and Vance are busy building, especially inside the US itself. In contrast, the EU and Europe more broadly, if it can stay united, has the ability to put up resistance that matters to Maga America and its Big Tech oligarchy.

This, by @martinsandbu.ft.com is probably the best reading of what MAGA's assault on Europe means and what our takeaway should be. I hope UK leaders learn this and understand that aligning themselves with Europe is the right (morally AND strategically) move here.

Germany started its "Energiewende" (energy transition) long ago. The EEG has been copied around the world.
But how is the transition going? Has it been successful so far? What does Germany phase out and when? And what about baseload?

the graphics shows the average price for a new electricity contract in Germany (At 4000 kWh). It shows a strong increase in 2022 which then returned to levels around 25 to 30 ct/kWh as of Jul 2023.

It's primarily expensive to keep an existing (expensive) contract. New contracts fell below 25 ct/kWh in late 2024 and are currently below 30 ct/kWh: www.verivox.de/strom/stromp...

3 takeaways from @iea.org electricity 2025 report (there is definitely more!)
1) Solar PV hit the 2000 TWh mark (globally)
2) Globally, strong increase in electricity demand is expected at around 4% p.a. (so by 3500 TWh in 3 years)
3) all of that demand can be met with RES
