We build, acquire and grow companies on the journey toward 100% clean energy, 100% impact hiring and 100% worker ownership.

A seed investment by Spring Point Partners will help Celsius advance our platform for acquiring energy services companies and transitioning them to employee ownership. Thank you to @ImpactAlpha for sharing our story.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets.

Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

Utilities are installing Solar and BESS fast

Grid operators have about 160 GW of new large load requests that are under construction or committed

This equates to 22% of current US peak demand

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

The energy transition is happening, faster than many realize. This week, I look at how clean energy is surging, where we can get it wrong, why silence on climate is spreading, and what we can do about it.

🌞 Good news: Renewables are now so cheap they’re “virtually unstoppable.” Wind and solar plus storage are outpacing fossil fuels globally as well as in the US, UK, Australia .... simply because they make economic sense.

⚠️ Looks like good news, but isn’t (unless we do it right): Where we build clean energy matters. Poor siting can harm ecosystems and communities: and this week, approval of a new pumped storage facility in WA that threatens the Yakama Nation's sacred site embodies this risk.

🤐 Not-so-good news: “Climate hushing” is on the rise as political and industry leaders avoid the topic altogether, even at major global forums. But silence doesn’t neutralize climate risk; it just delays action when we can least afford it.

💬 What you can do: In an era of climate hushing, talking about climate change matters more than ever. Start with shared experiences, local impacts, and hopeful solutions. Our voices are still the most powerful climate tool we have!

This is what things looks like at 1.5 degrees of warming. Think about what it looks like at twice that, which is where we’re headed unless we do a *lot* more very quickly.

[InsideEVs @InsideEVs]

GM has confirmed that the Equinox EV LT has begun arriving at U.S. dealerships. It's now the cheapest EV in America with 300 miles of range or more and with tax credits, it can be had for under $30,000.

Breaking news: New York has become the first state in the nation to pass a law banning natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings, a move that could inspire other states and further erode the residential future of the gas industry. https://t.co/IqAY1iSo4n

I’m not sure what screams *we need to insulate everyone’s homes* more than this:

[Madina Touré @madinatoure]

.@NYCMayor is announcing a $4 billion program to electrify city schools. Says every New York City school the city builds moving forward will be fully electric. “No more boilers, no more burning dirty fuel, no more contributing to asthma," Adams says.

Solar power, electric cars, grid-scale batteries, heat pumps—the world is crossing into a mass-adoption moment for green technologies https://t.co/iRqVGmpO75

[celsius @CelsiusHQ]

This is why Celsius exists: Federal investments in decarbonization “won’t be successful unless the contractors who will be closest to carrying out its ambitions are on board with the clean energy transition, too.” https://t.co/LYaCI3AhL7

[grist @grist]

Meeting projected demand for solar power will require a far larger pool of installers and technicians. Employing women and people of color is the industry's best chance to achieve that, Neha Misra (@LightSolar) writes. https://t.co/2D6Ph4GnXP

"This is the paradox at the heart of climate change: We’ve burned far too many fossil fuels to go on living as we have, but we’ve also never learned to live well without them." https://t.co/TSKt8610KD

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

A new report from @CreditSuisse says the #InflationReductionAct is an even bigger deal for the U.S. economy than Congress (or CBO) thinks, and is likely to spur explosive growth in American clean energy industries. @robinsonmeyer has the details https://t.co/Ilg0VQFRAW

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Installing all of the solar panels, the heat pumps and transmission lines needed for the clean energy transition will require something that the U.S. currently doesn’t have: lots and lots of electricians. https://t.co/LvoInpQWf1

[Governor Jared Polis @GovofCO]

Congrats to @ColoradoMesaU for leading the way with geothermal heating and cooling, saving students 2% on tuition costs with clean energy.
