South Korean beekeeper Park Gyeong-je who has tended beehives for nearly 50 years is now fighting to survive as climate change disrupts flower blooms, threatens the future of beekeeping and raises concern over how crops will be pollinated https://t.co/Y6YavI26JF
The president's frequent claim that China doesn't build wind power is an up-is-down reversal of reality. "Last year, China installed three times as much wind power capacity as the rest of the world combined, even as its turbine exports jumped." https://t.co/xSzHlOtDiT
"Leaders who depend on imported fuel increasingly see solar, batteries, electric transport, and efficiency not as political burdens but as tools for containing the price shocks that drive their citizens into the streets. For the first time in the climate era, public interest in cheap, secure clean power and political interest in regime continuity point in the same direction"

BREAKING: UK govt is targeting 87% cut in emissions by 2040 under the 7th "carbon budget"
It says meeting this target will boost energy security, lower bills, create jobs and growth, improve quality of life – and tackle the "climate crisis"
In the past two weeks, the president has lied that he’d have won California with an honest vote count, that California doesn’t allow people to vote in person, and that California mails out 15 million excess ballots. All absolute nonsense. https://t.co/lCo2EJ9oMv
After 5 full months in 2026, WindWaterSolar supply has exceeded demand on 127 of 151 (84.1%) days, including 61 straight.
Gas use is down 61% vs 2023, supplying only 14.7% of demand during 2026, vs 37.2% in 2023.
Battery output is up 331% and solar output is up 55% vs 2023.
In-state WWS has so far supplied 56.2% of demand.
Demand is also down 1.2% vs 2023 despite CA having the 3rd-most datacenters, by far the most EVs, and large numbers of heat pumps.
While CA has high retail electricity prices due to wildfire costs, gas disaster costs, T&D upgrades, high gas prices, and high nuclear prices passed onto customers, CA is the most energy-efficient state in the U.S., so electricity bills are lower than many states, including Texas.
CA also has the most stable grid in the U.S., as evidenced by the lowest wholesale (spot) prices in the U.S.
A genomic study of Greenland sharks, thought to be the longest-lived vertebrates on the planet, is hinting at the secrets to their epic lifespan and cancer resistance. https://t.co/2dqLisQwEz
Europe saved 51 billion euros last year by replacing oil and gas with wind and solar, the blue-chip international Energy Agency has concluded. It will doubtless be far more this year, as a result of the price hikes from the Iran War.
