In TT#18, we review sales figures in Europe and find electrified cars took a 69% market share for the first 9 months of 2026 while sales of oil-burners crashed to 28%. Electric truck sales hit double-digits and even V2G is finally getting the green light. https://t.co/tKVn042KUT

In Ep. 280, we review the first complete global energy data set for 2025, from the Energy Institute, @Ember et al. The #energytransition is still accelerating as renewables meet all new electricity demand and overtake coal, plus gas in key markets. https://t.co/Q1t8TnUOFK

In Ep. 279, Tara Connolly of Beyond Fossil Fuels explains why so many wind, solar and battery projects are backed up in queues waiting to connect to European *distribution* grids, and what can be done to get those projects built and connected. https://t.co/Z83qVds8up

In Ep. 278, we are joined by Dr. Emily Pope of @C2ES to hear about the state of the art in geothermal power generation, and how much of a role it might play in helping to achieve decarbonization goals in the US and beyond.

Ep. 277 wraps up our miniseries on South Africa, exploring how its economic development depends heavily on leaving behind its coal-fired legacy electricity system and making a “just transition” to renewables. https://t.co/z2zZ7XPXRR

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In @TransitionShow Ep. 276, we check out one of the most exciting #energytransition stories in the world: South Africa is transitioning its electricity system from a state-owned monopoly to a free market, and from coal to renewables. https://t.co/QeMwd0puiB

In Ep. 275, we review a report from @350 on the cost of delaying the energy transition, and see how the energy transition is helping countries limit the economic damage they are suffering from the global energy crisis resulting from the war in Iran. https://t.co/fVpFpd0sS6

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 274, @ember_energy's @nicolasfulghum walks us through all the data in their new Global Electricity Review 2026 report. Renewables are finally pushing fossil fuels off the grid and power sector emissions are declining globally for the first time. https://t.co/1jF6iOSii8

In Ep. 272, @nworbmot shares a new model which shows that by 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the global population for less than €80/MWh--cheaper than gas! https://t.co/kQfDgS1V4B

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 272, oil analyst and journalist @Rory_Johnston explains why the Iran war has thrown the world into uncharted territory, with unprecedented high prices ahead. This episode is not paywalled, so enjoy & share widely! https://t.co/i7WzXTKVOa

In Ep. 271, @laurimyllyvirta rejoins us to tease apart the complex picture of China’s energy transition. Listen and learn why China’s total CO2 emissions have been falling for the past two years even while it’s building more coal power plants than ever. https://t.co/7cXAbzVf5X

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 270 @AdairTurnerUK, co-chair of the Energy Transitions Commission in London, shares with us his wide-ranging, high-level perspective on the energy transition in the UK and the world. https://t.co/WO6wFtIgjS

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 269, @AriPeskoe rejoins us to review Trump’s attacks on the energy transition in the US and explore the legal options for defending it. Wind farms, solar farms, coal plants, regulations,Venezuela, UN climate bodies, oh my! https://t.co/GMx53QKlbK

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 268, veteran organizer @CarterLavin joins us to share some of the insights, tactics and lessons learned from his 15 years as a transportation advocate. Listen in and learn how you can help advance energy transition policies in your community! https://t.co/kIeIP6lhqE

[Transition Show @TransitionShow]

In Ep. 267, former IEA Director Nobuo Tanaka shares his perspectives on the global realignment into “petrostates” and “electrostates” and how US policy is pushing Europe and developing countries closer to China. We also discuss evolving Asian grids. https://t.co/WFzi8GBfc7

In Ep. 265, @chrisnelder returns to Paris to interview @tim_gould_ about @iea.org’s flagship World Energy Outlook 2025 report. We clarify what its scenarios mean (and what they don’t), and find the global energy transition very much still going strong. https://t.co/WZZ02pkeCn
