NEW | Record exports of solar, batteries and EVs last month 📈

China’s exports for the ‘new three’ industries reached a record high of $21.9bn in March 2026, up 70% year-on-year, in the wake of the US-Israel war with Iran and changing export rebates for solar and batteries.

Told you so.

Ed Miliband to double down on net zero with measures to combat Iran energy shock As fossil fuel prices soar ‘the era of clean energy security must come of age’, energy secretary will say

UK Enery Minister Ed Miliband:

“The lesson for our country is clear; the era of fossil fuel security is over, and the era of clean energy security must come of age.”

“You can’t solve a fossil fuel crisis by doubling down on fossil fuels.”

I need to do that.

The U.S. Is Manufacturing a Ton of Grid Batteries Demand for energy storage is surging on the U.S. grid — and the country now has more than enough battery-making factories to meet it.

Big batteries have begun reshaping the U.S. power grid. Now, the country has made surprising strides in making those energy storage systems itself, rather than depending on imports from China.

Good news! No pay wall.

Zoning laws, town regulations, utilities pushback, politics....take your pick.

Why does Western media keep failing on the Royal Enfield electric motorcycle launch? There’s a strange pattern emerging in Western coverage of Royal Enfield’s upcoming electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6. And if you’ve been following the story closely, it’s getting harder to ignore. more…

Did you know that Australia spends more on diesel subsidies than on their army, and almost as much as on public education?

Royal Enfield reveals first electric motorcycle specs and they’re ridiculous Royal Enfield has officially pulled the wraps off the full specifications of its first electric motorcycle, the beautifully designed Flying Flea C6, ahead of its April 10 launch in India. And while there’s a lot to like about the bike on paper, one particular number stands out so much that it almost overshadows everything else. more…

NEW | Cheap battery storage means solar can now economically meet up to 90% of India’s electricity demand ☀️🔋

Solar paired with batteries could deliver electricity at a LCOE of INR 5.06/kWh, lower than the average power cost in most Indian states 🇮🇳

100 percent

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching.

Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher.

That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).

Same problem here for years, but it’s seasonal in spring. This is their way to amplify their abilities to attract a mate. It will go away by itself in a few days.
If you still want to limit it, tie a cloth over the chimney or just bang a few times on the wall housing the chimney when it drums 🤷🏻‍♂️

Argh, I just finished the last box today.

I can‘t help but notice the intermittency of….
gas and oil.

The government and its state owned enterprises are the bigger producers and distributors of fertilizer, and its a politically sensitive commodity.

Nobody wants to muck around with "smart home" gizmos, they just want stuff to work.
