Rising tiger, India, on track to deliver 500 GW of new renewable capacity by 2030. An absolute GIANT emerging.
Good morning with good news: India meets 50% renewables & nuclear capacity target 5 years early!
As clean capacity deploys, clean electricity production surges.
Solar grew from 5 TWh in 2014 to 48 TWh in 2019 & 137 TWh in 2024.
Hydro was 157 TWh; wind 82 TWh; nuclear 55 TWh in 2024. #energysky

Chinese exports threaten Europe even more than the US
Biden is right to heed working class voters in Pennsylvania. The Continent, which has even more to lose from a second China shock, better start listening to its workers too.

Excellent AER paper from Luca et al. demonstrating how China’s exports crowd out production and curb innovation globally.
It reinforces the argument I made in Politico last year about the drag China’s distortions place on EU productivity and innovation.

When I review a Word document, sometimes I get rid of all the double spaces after periods in one fell swoop by doing a find and replace and typing two spaces into the find box and typing one space into the replace box
What's your most niche and unimportant crusade?
Mine is that I use the symbol "var" (as scientific standards bodies indicate) for reactive power instead of "VAR" (most common) or something weird like "Var" or worse, "VAr".
I'll admit it does feel a bit odd to put "Mvar" next to "MW" and "MVA". 🔌💡

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

I think this will be useful. Fossil CO2 emissions keep rising, when they should be falling. It is time to admit that. So I hope the CPS can help address this issue.
