Bar graphs showing renewables capacity doubling from 2.5 TW in 2020 to over 5 TW in 2025, and capacity additions 2025: mainly solar (511 GW) and wind (+159 GW)
Global renewable power capacity crossed the 5 TW (that's 5,000,000,000,000 Watts) mark last year!
It grew by 15.5 % within one year, driven by solar PV and wind.

Rather than opening more oil refineries, how about we get more EVs, more charging stations, more renewables, maybe even a super fast train or two.
Let’s stop planning a future that includes fossil fuels.
So impressed that @cnn has stuck with coverage of Artemis II, giving it the attention it deserves as a major milestone in human history. Compelling television that is about courageous people taking risks on behalf of all of us instead of those trying to divide us.
Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point.
Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states.
In 1974 he resigned.
By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him.
Looking forward to history repeating itself.
Trump wants us out of NATO. Putin’s lifelong dream. Tell me again how Trump is not a Putin bootlicker….
Think about it. Trump spends the first year of his second term alienating Europe. Then he starts a war that Europe wisely refuses to participate in. Now he and Putin have their “excuse” to withdraw the United States from NATO.
Everything he does, Trump does for Vladimir.
“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”
What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.
This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.
But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.
So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!
Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.
This is no joke.

The US is a shameless kleptocracy, built on the Russian model, led by a gang of crooks. I wonder what it’s going to take for enough voters to realize this, and whether it’ll make any difference when that finally happens.
There is a campaign to get Canada's Pension Fund to divest from ICE which @leadnowca.bsky.social recently launched:

UN: 'Some responses to the fossil fuel crisis – incredibly – argue for doubling-down on the cause of the problem and slowing the shift to renewable energy. Even though it is clearly cheaper, safer, and faster to market.
'This is completely delusional.'

You’re right. The NDP “collapsed” in a matter of weeks, driven by unique circumstances, but all that left-leaning energy in the electorate did not disappear. It’ll bounce back just as quickly when the opportunity appears.
In Alberta, every party is warped by fossil fuel capture. Their names mean nothing in a wider Canadian context.
I haven’t decided what I think of @avilewis.ca in general, but he’s right on Canada Post being treated as a public service rather than a profit business. This is also true of other public services like national rail transportation and urban public transit.
ALL politicians need to get this right.
Israel’s parliament approved hanging as the default death penalty for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis. Human rights groups, including B’Tselem, say Israelis kill Palestinians with impunity and face no accountability.
This is apartheid—stop supporting American politicians who enable it.
Your “analyst” is more of a fossil fuel hack, folks. Stop platforming industry lobbyists as concerned citizens, it doesn’t help your cred.
Best message I’ve seen all day.

Same. No drama with Fedora (though I must admit, the daily updates are starting to wear on me a bit).
So you’re that Linux person I’ve been hearing about! You sure get around!
Sometimes even the President of the United States must be tried for treason.
Gasoline isn't expensive enough, given how many people I see idling their vehicles.
The US Government Accountability Office put up a two-pager on solar geoengineering, which seems notable — and hence I am noting it.
The President of the United States is a liar.

It cost me $13 to fill up my car today. Of course, I drive an EV. Imagine not being beholden to the oil industry.
“Surprise at the sheer velocity of the onset of fascism is the result of regarding it as a political rather than criminal entity: it's theft.”
That’s me, just now quoted to me by a friend. While I wait to hear if he knows where he read it, does anyone here know?
Section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives every Canadian citizen the right to vote.
The American Constitution does not give every American citizen the right to vote. That's why Americans never stop fighting about who gets to vote.
Canada is a stable democracy; America is not.
