This is true today and as the grid gets cleaner and the manufacturing of EVs gets cleaner the gap will only widen. More and more, cleaner also means cheaper.
EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

Of course climate denial is also deeply misogynistic.

>Climate skeptics present their position as “projecting rationality, authority, and masculine self-control” while those who acknowledge global warming “are depicted through emotionally charged, feminized, and irrational imagery…”<

Perhaps the most obvious reason why the energy transition is inevitable is that 3/4 of the world’s people live in countries that import fossil fuels and the sun shines everywhere.

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!!

September 2025 was the 3rd warmest September on record for our planet, following 2023 (1st place) and 2024 (2nd place). The last 12-months have been about 1.51°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.

California has just switched on its first canal solar project, transforming two Central Valley irrigation canals into power sources.
As Ben Tracy reports, research suggests this approach could help California save more than 60 billion gallons of water every year.

We may find that solar panels are still working well after half a century. Could this have implications on the future of financing?

"A study of six, three-decade-old arrays in Switzerland found them to still be working well, retaining more than 80% of their initial power."
Groundbreaking study shows how solar panels age after 30 years of use: 'It's an important message to the photovoltaic industry'
"Everything that goes into a panel ... has a great influence on performance."

Across 247 U.S. cities:
