In just six months, China added 256 gigawatts (GW) of new #solar capacity — more than the entire solar infrastructure ever built by the United States. That’s enough clean energy to power over 40 million homes, marking the fastest renewable expansion in human history.

Good morning with good news: China's coal generation and gas generation fell 5.4% in September 2025. compared to September 2024!
They're down 1.2% in first 9 months of 2025.
Huge wind, solar & battery deployment continues. Hydro & nuclear grow too.

For the first time, new clean energy generation (solar, wind, nuclear) provided more new GWhs then new electricity demand (369Twh). With continued exponential growth and new geothermal coming online at scale in a few years we should sustain this every year.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
