China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

“Germany used renewables to phase out nuclear before coal” is the most accurate way of describing it. which is still a nonsensical decision given the relative emissions profiles of nuclear vs. coal
I often read on social media that Germany just replaced nuclear with coal.
That is evidently not the case.
Coal generation is down by more than 60% over last decade with nuclear now gone.
However, Germany could have phased out coal by now if it had kept nuclear generation going at 2011 levels.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

For the first time ever, renewables outpowered fossil fuels in October — supplying nearly 50% of Australia’s grid. When the sun’s up, energy is abundant & cheap. The smart move now? Incentivise demand — like 3 hrs of free electricity during high-renewable periods. #EnergyTransition #Renewables #BESS

The key *economic* fact about renewables is the very high proportion of fixed costs. This means that 1) financing conditions are decisive for returns; and 2) marginal-cost pricing doesn't work.
Renewables are an extreme case of this, but hardly unique - railroads are the classic case.

One of the most self-destructive things Germany could do is to reverse the green transition now.
Renewables expansion has been on a tear but Germany has seen reversals before, unfortunately. And the country still does not have oil or gas and isn’t getting any anytime soon (ever).

Two years ago, the world made a bold commitment.
To triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030.
We have good news.
95% of new energy capacity worldwide comes from renewables.
We are moving ever faster towards these goals ↓

If China’s renewables boom is to turn into a decarbonisation success, those renewables need make deep cuts in the amount of coal-fired power on the grid, rather than just to supplement it
