Ingen overraskelse.

I den andre enden blør fornybarbransjen, og solkraftfirmaer har sagt opp hundrevis av ansatte som i praksis er et permanent kompetansetap det vil ta årevis å gjenoppbygge.

Norgespris + kutt i elavgift -> deathpunch for nye investeringer i sol og vind.
Idiotien med Norgespris tar ingen ende!
Jeg skjønner jo at AP måtte ta i bruk nasjonal-populisme "Norges-Pris" for å sikre gjenvalg, og minimerer tap av velgere til FRP og SP, men ... Nå har de gjort det, og kan reversere!

Most Western and West-based climate researchers and experts think like this: “We are very smart and highly educated. The vast majority of people lack our qualifications, while non-human lifeforms are completely uneducated. They must accept our ideas on how to save the world.”

The threats to our security are real and growing.

Europe must urgently boost capacity to protect our skies and our infrastructure.

Poland is the largest defence spender in Europe. And it will be the biggest beneficiary of the SAFE instrument.

China just passed a historic milestone — over half of all new cars sold in Oct were NEVs. BEVs soared +31.7% YoY to 1.1 M units, while PHEVs rose just 3%. The shift is unmistakable: the world’s biggest car market is now majority electric, powered by lithium. #EV #EnergyTransition #Lithium #RIPOIL
China NEV sales hit new record of 1.715 million units in Oct, CAAM data show

"Fossil demand has been flat for industrial energy since 2014, for buildings since 2018, for road transport since 2019, & may peak for electricity this year. 2/3 of countries have already seen peak fossil demand in end-use sectors, & half the world has seen a peak in fossil fuels for electricity."

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

To dismiss COP30 as a failure is the ultimate complexity-reduction and ultimately lazy. Every COP is good for a surprise. And as long as member states don't give it a stronger mandate, every COP will overpromise and underdeliver. And yet, without it we'd be in much deeper trouble already.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
