For @Semafor, Ember’s @KingsmillBond
and @SamButl3r share why solar power will outshine LNG as energy demand continues to grow.

The Electrotech Revolution will not be Fossilized. My conversation with Ember's Kingsmill Bond. Filmed live in Berlin at the October Cleaning Up Leadership Circle breakfast in Berlin. Not to be missed!

LATEST DATA | Strong solar additions and favourable hydro conditions in China pushed coal power down 5.4% in September compared to 2024 🇨🇳⚡️

Year-to-date, coal power remains down 1.4%.

[Ember @ember_energy]

China is shifting from a coal-fuelled powerhouse to a clean electrification leader 🇨🇳🌏

Solar, batteries and EVs are growing 3x faster than 🇨🇳's economy – driving change at home & abroad.

“The magnetic centre is the electron: we are revolutionising how we generate, use, and shift electrons. Solar and wind are conquering electricity supply. EVs, heat pumps, and AI are electrifying major new uses. Batteries and digitalisation are connecting supply and demand.”

[Ember @ember_energy]

NEW | China’s clean energy boom and rapid electrification are creating the conditions for a FOSSIL DECLINE at home and abroad⚡

Fossil use in end-use sectors plateaued in 2015--while electricity use grew 65%, becoming central to 🇨🇳’s energy system.

Loved this piece by @KingsmillBond @DaanWalt3r @SamButl3r @ember_energy on electrification

Found this graphic striking - the amount of progress that has taken place in the last 25 years, unlocking electrification as a solution across a much wider range of sectors, is staggering.

[Sam Butler-Sloss @SamButl3r]

Nice thread on our latest piece at @ember_energy

[Ramez Naam @ramez]

1. Electrifying the economy - shifting from using fossil molecules to using electrons - is an even bigger shift & larger market than cleaning up the electricity supply. Great insights from @KingsmillBond and colleagues at @ember_energy.

[Kingsmill Bond @KingsmillBond]

Time to rethink the energy debate

It is time to rethink the debate on the future of energy. This is a technology revolution driven by physics, economics and geopolitics, and galvanised by China.

China – the first major electrostate

[Wolfgang Blau @wblau]

Expired: petro state
Wired: electro state

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

> Solar and wind take 10 years to get to 5% deployment, 10 more years to get to 25%, and then 10 years to reach 50%
> EVs take 6 years to get to 5% of sales and 6 more years to reach 50%

The cleantech revolution is unstoppable

Awesome evening!

Shout out to @CarbonBrief @DrSimEvans @LeoHickman and the whole gang for a brill quiz, and kudos to @mikehemsley and @SamButl3r for helping ace an awesome picture round

[RMI @RockyMtnInst]

We’re about to make a big leap forward as we shift from fossil fuels to clean energy like solar, wind, and electric tech — almost doubling global energy efficiency in the process. Learn how: https://t.co/RnDzQv4VHT

[Leonardo Buizza @BuizzaLeonardo]

Two awesome straplines from @DaanWalt3r @KingsmillBond @SamButl3r in their latest piece on the shift away from a combustion and fossil-fuel based energy system:

"We've gone as far as fire can take us"

"Renewables get to work"

Love it!

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

Renewable energy is cheaper to scale, faster to deploy, better for our natural world and now accounts for 10% of global GDP growth. As @RockyMtnInst shares in a compelling report, the cleantech revolution is here and shaping our world for the better. https://t.co/ETjnvLJfkH
