Head of International Energy Agency: Fossil fuel era won't recover after global oil shock:
-Countries increasingly turning to electrification and renewables
-Long-held assumptions about the reliability of fossil fuels shattered
-Confidence underpinning global oil and gas markets weakened
-Fragility of fossil markets exposed
-Expanding fossil projects will not help

@BM_Visser Te kort door de bocht denk ik. Dat de opbrengst per kWh lager is (voor nu), hoeft niet te komen door ‘kannibalisatie’. Het kan net zo goed veroorzaakt worden door:
- Minder wind- en/of zonnefluctuaties.
- Betere voorspellingen door marktpartijen.
- Seizoens-effecten.
☀️ Solar power has scaled up faster than any other source of electricity in history ↗️
It took just 8 years to go from 100 TWh to 1000 TWh.
It will only take 3 years to go from 1000 TWh to 2000 TWh!
So even though 50 oil and gas companies signed a “net zero by 2050” pledge today at COP28, that’s not in the good news category. Why not? Because it doesn’t include emissions from actually burning the fossil fuels they produce: just the emissions generated during their production (which is only around 10% of the emissions associated with the industry).
As Oil Change International said, "You wouldn’t expect 50 tobacco companies to solve lung cancer by producing cigarettes more efficiently. 50 fossil fuel companies promising to produce oil and gas more efficiently won’t help solve the climate crisis."

Producing green hydrogen in the Uk will use 6x more electricity than heat pumps.
If they mean blue hydrogen, it’s made from gas and costs loads more than gas.
Actual science.
Btw- 97% of the worlds hydrogen is currently grey - trashing the climate. Maybe they should sort that
🌍 The world's #climate is pushing into uncharted territory, with soaring average temperatures and record-breaking sea temperatures. The looming El Niño threatens to worsen the situation. We're unprepared for the challenges ahead.
Totaal absurd dit. De vervuiling van 21 vluchten per dag extra omdat ze geen douanehokje voor de trein georganiseerd krijgen.
We moeten zsm stoppen met alle vluchten naar Londen en zorgen voor genoeg treinen. #meertreinenmindervliegen https://t.co/QoGXzNNzgy
Of jullie een beetje wisten in te spelen op de negatieve stroomprijzen van de afgelopen drie dagen? Nou, nogal! Zaterdagmiddag lag het verbruik zelfs 139% hoger dan verwacht had mogen worden bij 'normale' prijzen. Gistermiddag stokte de teller bij 'slechts' 92%.

Mass media have fooled so many people into thinking we have a climate 'problem' requiring investment in renewables. In reality it's an extinction catastrophe demanding total system change away from today's limited paradigm of capitalist economic growth. 🧵

Good graphic here. Nuclear actually provided almost 30% of total energy needs in the 90s in Germany; has now been reduced to zero.
If that share were maintained, you could basically eliminate coal today.

My impression is that many smart people, including policy makers, investors & journalists tend to confuse two groups of techs:
- what is commercially available today at scale (wind, solar, batteries)
- what is not (hydrogen, fusion, direct air capture, small modular nukes)
Prijsplafond is te mooi om waar te zijn – voor energieleveranciers dan. Die graaien miljarden uit de staatskas van u en mij…
