Price shocks force factories to dump gas for cleaner energy
Industrial energy users are starting to turn away from natural gas after a jump in prices, and as solar systems, batteries and heat pumps become cheaper.

Love or hate Tesla, this effectively ends the argument: 11 MW of solar and 39 MWh of Megapack storage powering a 164-stall, fully off-grid Supercharger in California. Proof that not just transport, but electricity itself, no longer needs fossil fuels. The tech exists. The excuses are gone. #Lithium
Tesla Just Opened Its Biggest Supercharger Station Ever—And It's Powered By Solar And Batteries
Tesla's huge 164-stall charger in California is powered by solar panels and huge amounts of off-grid storage.

Will Net Zero cost $9 trillion to Australia?
As the Nationals abandon their commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, leader David Littleproud has cited a stunning $9 trillion dollar price tag on the policy as a key reason for the move.

ICE is finished in China.
Sales of petrol & diesel cars peaked in 2017 — the same year EVs started their takeoff. In 2020, only 1 in 18 new cars was electric. By 2024, it’s 1 in 2. This year it’s tracking for 60%.
This isn’t a fad — it’s the world’s biggest industrial shift in motion. #EV #Lithium

China’s pledge: 7–10% GHG cut by 2035, 3,600 GW wind+solar = classic symbolism. Reality: 2020 targets smashed 6 yrs early, adding ~350–400 GW #renewables a year, #EVs past 60%, #BESS surging. On this track, a 30% fall is baseline, >50% plausible. The pledge is diplomacy—delivery will be far bolder.
