I created two Starter Packs for folks looking to find their tribes here.
The first is Climate podcasters - bsky.app/starter-pack...
And the second is Supply Chain - bsky.app/starter-pack...
In both cases if you feel I have missed someone, let me know and I'll add them

impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.

Most people think sustainability in transport is about EVs and hydrogen.
But what if I told you the real revolution is happening inside 10-van fleets, not BYD factories?

Every refinery burning in a war zone tells the same story: our energy system is built on fragility.
Pipelines can be bombed. Tankers hijacked. Prices held hostage.
But as Bill McKibben put it - “It’s hard to drone a solar panel.” 🧵

Ember’s 2025 data shows why that’s more than a metaphor - electrification is Europe’s best defence against energy shocks, climate chaos, and rising costs.

Why You Can’t Drone a Solar Panel: Electrification and Europe’s New Energy Security
In late 2023, Europe's energy vulnerability was highlighted by Houthi drone attacks disrupting shipping. This chaos underscored the need for electrification from renewables as a survival strategy. Reports indicate a significant shift as solar power surpassed coal globally, emphasizing energy independence, cost-effectiveness, and resilience against geopolitical threats. Europe's future hinges on mastering clean energy systems.

Renewables have overtaken coal for the first time in history. Clean power isn’t just a climate solution - it’s the smarter, cheaper, more secure foundation of the 21st-century economy. Here’s why decarbonising power can’t wait. ⚡
Why Decarbonising Power Is the 21st-Century Economic Upgrade We Can’t Afford to Delay
Renewable energy has overtaken coal in global generation for the first time, highlighting a pivotal shift in power dynamics. Spain's olive oil crisis exemplifies the economic impacts of climate risks. Accelerating clean energy and storage deployment is essential for resilience, stability, and affordability. Transitioning to renewables is a crucial step for sustainability and energy security.

The ROI of Resilience: Climate Change as a Risk Management Challenge
Climate change is fundamentally a risk management challenge, requiring businesses and governments to abate, adapt, or suffer losses. Insurers are flagging climate risks, with costs rising for disasters. Effective climate risk strategies involve integrating climate considerations into corporate governance, investing in resilient infrastructure, and modernising practices to prevent systemic economic failures.

Electrification is transforming transport, heating, and industry, but blackouts, storage gaps, and policy inertia threaten progress. Who leads this transition will define the next economy. Here’s why urgent action on the energy transition matters.
The Electrification of Everything: Why Energy Transition Is Hard, and Why Delay Isn’t an Option
Electrification is revolutionising the global economy by transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable electricity across various sectors. While it offers significant opportunities, the shift demands extensive infrastructure, investment, and political resolve. Challenges include reliance on foreign supply chains and maintaining grid stability amidst increasing energy demands, necessitating urgency in adaptation and investment.
