More solar farms on the way after record renewables auction
The results have been welcomed by climate and clean energy groups but could face opposition from local communities.

In particular, the rise of solar, wind (despite the headwinds), and grid-scale battery technology for electricity is being driven by market forces - even in places like Texas. The pressure on old thermal (fossil fuel) plants is relentless and will prevail (again, despite Myron Ebell).

Government action on climate adaptation is accelerating.
Our new research, funded by the @zcralliance.bsky.social, shows that 75% of adaptation‑relevant laws and policies have been adopted since the Paris Agreement in 2015, and almost half since 2020.

China’s entire coal fleet is expected to be retrofitted to become flexible, in just 2 years from now🤯
Just incredible progress, which will enable solar+wind's growth to continue. Really fascinating research out today from @ember-energy.org, do take a read!

2) “There may come a time when the people elected to enact laws decide the modest benefits of regulating greenhouse gases outweigh the considerable economic costs.”
Wrong. Benefit cost analyses regularly show the benefits of reducing GHGs vastly outweigh the costs.

Also, the German car industry’s woes have sucked up most of the attention.
But another storm is brewing in machinery - the other core engine of Germany’s growth model.

If the federal government wants to more heavily regulate greenhouse gas emissions, Congress needs to pass a new law.

Using hydrogen as a fuel to replace natural gas has been strongly promoted by vested interest groups.
Many including myself raised serious concerns about scalability, cost and efficiency.
The more time passes, the more it looks like those concerns were well-founded.

This headline should anger everyone as the largest CO2 polluter is set to solidify its position as such and torpedo efforts to cut emissions.
We are racing through 1.5ºC of heating and will likely cross 2ºC in the late 2030's at current heating rates.
This is a crime against all life on earth!

The US could be making so much money off this
In what is arguably the World's Best News, it looks like India is going to spend much less time in the "fossil fuel detour" than the US or China. It is moving much more directly to clean electrification.
