Today on Volts: the think tank @ember_energy is out w/ its yearly Global Electricity Review. I talk w/ two of the authors about this year's big stories: Solar has won the day; batteries are winning the night. Fossil generation plateaued. India is sprinting toward clean energy.

Suck it, pollution: 🤯SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY SEVEN GIGAWATTS🤯 of #solar went live last year -- equal to 🚨1.5x all the nuclear plants on Earth.🚨

Still think we need new nuclear? 🤔

What if #AI starts betting against #crypto on Polymarket? Is that like an apocalypse turducken?

[Ryan Cunningham @CunningDC]

@SamTRicketts And we should stop calling it “carbon emissions” and call it what it is — pollution.

[Ryan Cunningham @CunningDC]

Renewable beat coal last year. Suck it, pollution.

Speaking as someone whose family owns property on the Gulf and whose son loves fishing there, HELL YES to suing the pants off the Trump Admin any time it loosens species protections there. We’ve got plenty of offshore rigs already, thank you. https://t.co/m2JFTYjtqm

The violence suffered by Middle Eastern societies as a result of the #IranWar has been widely (and rightly!) reported. But the region's🛢️national oil companies (NOCs)🛢️ are profiting to the tune of ‼️$30 million *per hour*‼️https://t.co/pb5JX1DAR6. Not great.

This is good news for democracy - electing the President by popular vote, not the weird and creaky Electoral College. We could’ve avoided GW Bush and Trump 1. Imagine who we could avoid in the future. https://t.co/qGkUZ9e4Rz

*This* is how we do it: 🏆#Cleanenergy advocates win🏆 majority of seats in Arizona utility election. Seems minor - but it can shape $millions in investment and GW of #energy. Sorry @TPUSA 🥲 via @azcentral

I just blocked @Grok. It feels like I struck a blow for justice somehow.
