China's March CO2 emissions are down compared to March 2024 & down in Q1 2025!
Why?
Grid CO2 falls 5.8% in Q1 2025, while power demand grew by 2.5%. Fossil fuel generation fell 4.7%!
Why?
Rising solar, wind & nuclear generation displace coal/gas!

Spain hits first ever weekday of renewables meeting 100% of electricity demand
This was deemed impossible by so many fossilised pundits, and they continue to deem it “impossible” even as 100% renewables is rolled out live

President Macron reacted to massive Russian attack of Ukraine.
He said that while Putin says to the whole world "I want peace," he continues to bomb Ukraine.
"The only thing to do is for Putin to finally stop lying. America's anger must be directed at only one person, president Putin,"he said
🚨 NEW RECORD | Fossil fuels fell below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record
This was driven by solar and wind reaching a record high 📈
In March 2025, solar increased by 37% (+8.3 TWh) and wind by 12% (+5.7 TWh) compared to the year before ↗️

Tragic and inhumane images coming out from Kryvyi Rih.
Another reckless Russian attack struck a crowded residential area, reportedly killing at least 14, including 6 children.
Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, no interest in peace.
Day 128. No way that we stop. And they cannot consolidate “painlessly,” without years of instability.
You can help us avoid costs that can be avoided in our liberation struggle through sanctions that are tailored to push the regime to schedule free elections.

Good morning with good news: UK's huge 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm has its first turbine installed. First power will be delivered in 2025 and full operations achieved in 2026.
UK's goal is 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, so gas burning will fall!

‘Oliekoekendom’, zo noemde de staatssecretaris van Landbouw het krimpen van de veestapel, in het licht van de voedselzekerheid. Maar is dit echt zo’n slecht idee? FTM dook in de cijfers en kwam tot een verrassende conclusie: een kleinere veestapel is gunstig voor de internationale voedselzekerheid.

EDF's flagship new nuclear power station in Flamanville - whose opening was delayed by 12 years - has been down for 76 of its first 100 days. I sincerely hope it eventually becomes a workhorse of Europe's power system - but don't let anyone tell you nuclear is easy.

Privacy isn’t about hiding—it’s about trust and control over our own information. In her #SXSW 2025 Keynote, Signal President, @meredithmeredith.bsky.social breaks down why our privacy matters.
Greetings from SXSW. Just saw Meredith Whittaker (Signal CEO) gave a great talk on why everyone needs privacy even if you don’t think you do. And how being a nonprofit removes the temptation to “further monetize” information you have on your users
Oekraïense oppositie wil geen verkiezingen tijdens oorlog. Er is ineens weer breedgedragen steun voor Trudeau in Canada. De EU + VK stralen (los van Orbán) sterke harmonie uit. Extreemrechts keldert weer in de peilingen. Trump is een echte verbinder.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.
If we look at the numbers,it’s obvious how enormous the contribution of the EU to Ukraine’s defense has been.To say that the EU helps Ukraine less than the USA is simply untrue
The total aid allocated by Europe to Ukraine over the past 3 years surpasses the US– nearing almost €140 billion,—IFW
