The state of solar: Despite partisan rhetoric, the industry is still booming Solar power is cheap, fast, and in demand as data centers consume more and more electricity.

Even now, even in the US, despite partisan rhetoric, and oil industry misinformation — the solar industry is booming.

The #EnergyRevolution is underway.

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

The reason our electricity prices are so high is that they are based on the price of gas which is the most expensive energy source.

The UK response shows how badly the Luxon government is failing New Zealanders right now.

www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The UK is looking at delinking gas and electricity prices, to cut consumers’ bills in response to the fossil fuel energy shock caused by Trump’s attack on Iran.

NZ could do this too.

The fossil fuel industry and their profiteers have a lot to lose and a lot to answer for.

This will trigger more insurance and mortgage withdraw and subsequently more manage retreat whether the climate denialists in NACT1 like it or not

PETITION: Solarise NZ to make fossil fuels history We can power our homes, transport and economy with clean energy and end our reliance on dirty fossil fuels.

Going solar fast makes us more resilient, saves households money and cuts emissions as we electrify everything.

'A storm every eight days' - country's biggest insurer calls for systemic response An increasing number of severe weather events were now happening in spring and summer, IAG says.

Wow, that hits hard.

A storm hit New Zealand every eight days on average in the last year.

Insurance claims more than tripled.

This is the #climatecrisis and it will get much worse — but how much worse, is still up to us.

War in the Middle East hasn’t triggered a coal comeback, but it is boosting renewables | Fortune Despite the worst energy supply shock in history, countries are turning to solar and wind instead of coal to fill the gap, report finds.

Fossil fuels have long been used as tools of power and coercion by authoritarian regimes.

Renewable energy is a peace, security and cost of living solution as well as a climate solution.

A just transition is inevitable- in fact it’s already happening. Now is the moment to fast track it.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

These Middle Eastern News Sites Are Actually U.S. Government Propaganda Operations Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News publish pro-U.S. coverage about the war on Iran and the Trump administration’s plan to redevelop Gaza.

NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.

Luxon does not want to talk about how he cancelled Labour's climate resiliance fund, or how little he's spending on protecting us from the weather his donors are causing.

Greenpeace activists install a wind farm on a green of the Trump Turnberry Golf Club, together with a sign reading ‘Choose wind, dump Trump’. Polling shows that roughly two-thirds of Scottish voters (65%) believe Britain should not follow US President Donald Trump’s calls for increasing oil and gas extraction and should instead focus on boosting renewable energy.

“Choose wind, dump Trump”

@greenpeaceuk.bsky.social activists install a wind farm at the Trump Turnberry Golf Club in Scotland.

Trump’s war in Iran could increase the total profits made by the oil and gas industry this year by $234 billion, or $30 million an hour.

That climate resilience fund Luxon axed to give handouts to landlords would be useful right now.

Wellington floods: The stories of the people caught up in the disaster The capital's southern suburbs were hit the hardest by the storm on Monday. These are some of the stories from those who live there

Wellington floods: The stories of the people caught up in the disaster www.rnz.co.nz/news/weather...

We turned rivers into road and wetlands into suburbs.

Extreme weather turns them back to rivers and wetlands.

This is what the #ClimateCrisis looks like.

The latest data on NZ's greenhouse gas emissions just dropped, and here's what you need to know.

In 2024, the increase in emissions from the intensive dairy industry was the same as adding 100,000 more cars to NZ's roads.

Here's why that's a big deal. 🧵

Fuel prices are not the only reason to reconsider our love of utes Reducing our use of one type of vehicle would make a big difference to air pollution, pedestrian safety, and New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Getting Utes out of our towns and cities would make a big difference to air pollution, pedestrian safety, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The human cost of the war in Sudan, three years on The conflict, which erupted in 2023, has left behind a human toll which is "simply staggering", reports the BBC's Barbara Plett Usher.

The world is failing Sudan.

The world’s largest humanitarian crisis remains desperately underfunded, while the war is fuelled by an ongoing flow of foreign‑manufactured weapons and military equipment – including some originating in the EU and the UK.

PETITION: Solarise NZ to make fossil fuels history We can power our homes, transport and economy with clean energy and end our reliance on dirty fossil fuels.

NOW is the time to break free from oil and gas.

With distributed rooftop solar and batteries, we can shift to electrifying everything and stop paying our hard-earned money to BIg Oil CEOs!

Join the call on this govt (or the next) to solarise Aotearoa!
