China has 60 nuclear units, will add 7 in 2026 & is constructing 36.
Nuclear generated 4.5% of China's power in 2/2026.
Nuclear globally generated 8.7% in 2/2026, growing 1.3% in 2025 but electricity demand grew 3%.
Will nuclear exceed demand growth?

World installed a record 110 GW of battery storage in 2025, according to IEA!
World will install 200 GW/year of battery storage by about 2030-2032.
Huge for solar & wind!

Good morning with good news: Solar globally grew by 600 TWh in 2025, largest ever rise from any source, excl rebound yrs.
RE & nuclear growth was more than total electricity demand growth.
Fossil fuel generation DECLINED!
RE = coal generation!

China's March 2026 exports:
Solar cells up 80%
EVs up 53%
Lithium-ion batteries up 34%
Electricity substitutes for fossil fuels are surging.
China, an Electrostate, competes against the Petrostates that include Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

HUGE!
China will DOUBLE its non-fossil fuel energy (not just power) supply by 2035!
China's 2025 electricity was ~42% non-fossil fuel or about 4,000TWh.
Given demand growth, doubling clean generation output would raise its share to ~66% by 2035. HUGE!

Hyundai says EVs (fully electric) now 20% of Australian orders!
Hyundai expects 70% increase in EV orders in Q2 2026 over Q1
Oil Price Spike 2026 plus EVs approaching purchase price parity make EVs attractive to consumers.
thedriven.io/2026/04/17/h... #energysky
2026 Oil/Gas Price Spike is different!
Why?
Cheap EVs, cheap home solar, cheap batteries and better heat pumps are available to substitute for oil and gas burners.
China's low-cost, high quality EVs are also available in UK.
www.theguardian.com/business/202... #energysky
Good morning with good news: Cheap EVs arrive in UK with 2026 Oil Price Spike & UK solar/heat pump sales surge.
1. EVs cost less to buy for the first time!
2. Solar home system sales skyrocket ~80% in March.
3. Heat pump installations double in March.

“I now am increasingly worried that we may well pass that Amoc shutdown tipping point..."
Rahmstorf said the risk of collapse, "looks like it’s more than 50%."
Impacts of collapse would be catastrophic.
But the climate risk minimizers ignore research that contradicts their narrative. #energysky
New research shows that ‘pessimistic’ models, which show a strong weakening of the Amoc by 2100, are, unfortunately, the realistic ones, in that they agree better with observational data.”
Climate risk minimizers @wang-seaver.bsky.social will ignore.

France seeks 10 offshore wind projects
The tender for 5 GWs fixed to the seabed & 5 GWs of floating will be finished by early 2027.
France has ~2 GWs of offshore wind operating and 5.6 GWs in construction or development. Its goal is 15 GWs in 2035. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... #energysky
First power delivered from USA's largest offshore wind farm--2.6 GW off Virginia.
Trump's tariffs and order to stop construction raised costs by $808 million!
Federal courts threw out the illegal order, but it caused months of delay.

Good morning with good news: Denmark, France and Norway were 92%, 95% and 99% respectively non-fossil fuel electricity in 2025!
Denmark was 73.5% wind (59.5%) & solar (14%).
France was 67.5% nuclear.
Norway was 89.9% hydro.
World now can end fossil-fuel electricity!

Hungarian voters did not like this photo op!
Meddling in foreign elections and losing is doubly dumb. It's also wrong.
US siding with authoritarian, post liberal democratic parties like Fidesz and AFD is another geopolitical disaster.
