A Chinese EV will be about 1 of 6 autos made worldwide during 2025.

China's EV total will exceed 13 million in 2025. It could reach 14 million or even get close to 15 million.

When will China make 20 million EVs per year?

Soon, for sure. Possibly 2026!

Truly incredible!

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Help! ❤️

YouTube flagged our @cleaninguppod.bsky.social documentary on #ProjectBo as political advertising. 😬

Using #solar power to help save babies' lives is NOT political! 🌞

We've re-edited, now we REALLY need your likes, comments, RTs and shares to get the word out! 🙏

For decades, forecasts of a clean hydrogen economy have relied on rapid scale-up driving down costs. However, production costs are dominated by engineering and energy, and supplemented by transport, storage & usage costs which seem unlikely to exhibit rapid reductions.

As the Arctic warms faster than the rest of the world, its tundra has become a source rather than a sink of carbon, a change that worries scientists
Thawing Tundra Is Now a Carbon Source in Fast-Warming Arctic
Scientists’ annual report card on the polar region finds that its vast tundra is releasing more CO2 than it stores, a worrying shift.

Australian households could cut their bills by two thirds by going fully electric according to new modelling but claims widespread electrification will lower power prices across the board are a little rosy.

Australian homes could slash energy bills by two thirds by cutting out gas and petrol, AEMC says
Australian households could lower their bills by over two thirds if they fully electrify their home by cutting out gas and petrol according to a new report from AEMC.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Renewables need less energy:

Electricity generation ~2x less (by not throwing heat in coal and gas away).

Heating ~3x less (by using heatpumps that make 3 kWh heat from 1 kwh electricity)

Cars ~4× less (combustion engines waste ~80% of energy)
Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy?

Critics of renewables often say that we cannot possibly replace the vast amount of fossil fuel we currently use with clean energy.

The good news is that we don’t have to. My article in Medium explains why.

If our hot water heaters ran off daytime solar, we would slash emissions and soak up cheap energy
Your electric water heater uses a lot of electricity overnight. Shifting it to soak up solar could be a win-win.
