🌀 Small wind = big resilience.
From farms in California to remote Alaska, small turbines are cutting costs, powering homes & replacing diesel. South Africa already has 100K turbines pumping water on 46K farms.
Local energy, global impact.

#Copper circularity is Europe’s industrial edge.
At our Brussels roundtable w/ Eurometaux & Intl Copper Association, we heard:
⚙️ #Circular = competitive
🌍 Climate & economy agendas must align
📜 EU policy needs to cut trade barriers & boost traceability
🤝 Progress needs cross-sector action

🌍 #COP30 is open in Belém as global energy systems reach a turning point.
Since COP28:
✅ 90% of new power in 2024 was clean
✅ No new coal in Latin America
✅ China: 56% of installed capacity is renewable
📈 But demand is rising fast. Clean supply must keep pace and so must investment.

Indonesia’s energy transition = jobs.
JETP investments could add 52 GW renewables by 2030, creating 383K jobs this decade.
By 2050:
✅ 1M jobs in construction
✅ 1.8M jobs in power generation
But 51K fossil fuel workers will need reskilling.

More #coal = not the answer!
2005: ~50% of U.S. electricity from coal
2024: only 15%
Cheaper gas, falling wind and solar costs and pollution rules drove the shift. Wind + solar now supply 17%, surpassing coal for the first time. Let's keep it that way and not return to coal.
