NEW DATA TOOL | Coal mines are a major source of methane. The big culprits could be vastly underreporting their CMM emission.

Spain’s rapid wind and solar growth has CUT the link between gas and electricity prices 🌪️☀️
🇪🇸’s decoupling of gas and electricity prices happened faster than in other European countries, making it one of the cheapest power markets in Europe.

In the hottest hours of summer, over one-tenth of Türkiye’s electricity is used for cooling and this share can reach up to 18% on extremely hot days
But solar energy peaks at the same time, making ☀️ a KEY solution for maintaining grid stability.

The job is in Montreal (no remote) and the ad is in French because we work in French and half our projects are in French.

NEW | 74% of the global population lives in countries that are net importers of fossil fuels.
12 countries supply 80% of net fossil fuel exports - with rising trade uncertainty, this puts much of the world at risk.

Introducing the dawn of the solar power era.
Feels important to point this out today. A milestone reached while Trump was in office.
🚨 NEW RECORD | Fossil fuels fell below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record
This was driven by solar and wind reaching a record high 📈
In March 2025, solar increased by 37% (+8.3 TWh) and wind by 12% (+5.7 TWh) compared to the year before ↗️

Charting solar power's explosive global growth!
From 2019 to 2024, countries have moved right (higher share, %) and up (more solar power, TWh), with the boom spanning small to large power markets.

Heat pumps are vastly more efficient than gas heating systems.
With the right policies they can also be significantly cheaper from a total cost of ownership perspective.

Nice to see this graphic of mine still doing the rounds...
Not long ago coal provided almost 40% of our electricity.
Today it is 0%.
Coal’s decline was achieved without switching to gas, driven instead by renewables & demand reduction.
Wind and solar experienced massive growth as coal entered terminal decline.

Lovely, simple, yet insightful analysis of Resident Advisor data.
A fun one for NYE - I looked at club listings going back a decade in 15 cities to show that the trend for dance events to end earlier is global - with UK cities seeing some of the biggest shifts 📉🪩
