Everyone else pays for it for the next 100,000.

“China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels. This trend will continue simply because renewables are cheap.”

🔥Wood burners are more expensive than both gas boilers and air source heat pumps in almost every scenario.

We often forget how far we have come: Today almost 3/4 of EU electricity generation is from non-fossil energy sources.

It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix.

This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation.

The explosive, exponential growth of solar energy makes it the fastest growing energy technology in history.

Cheap to build and fast to deploy, solar installations grew 10-fold in the last 10 years and provided 6.7% of the world's electricity in 2024.

The future is very sunny.

Milan is stepping up its climate plans.

Mayor @BeppeSala has committed to reinforcing the EU’s largest Low Emission Zone and launching new community solar projects to build a cleaner, healthier city.

This is such a bonkers take.
No one is trying to keep global temperatures down just for fun or because it looks pretty to look at on a thermometer, it’s because human life - and all life - will suffer the higher it goes…

An international study, published in the journal Nature, has found cutting pollution from road traffic and wood burning may be the most effective way to reduce the harm from air pollution across Europe. https://t.co/Vxhc5mq3Nh

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It took leadership.

The "fuck your feelings" crowd has always been against empathy and compassion. If you have empathy for others, that's how you know you're on the side of good.

Disappointingly little media attention being paid to this alarming new study. Instead, we're hearing about Bill Gates "tough truths" [read b.s.] downplaying the climate crisis.

Super rich are turbo charging climate crisis

Wealthiest 0.1% of the US burn carbon at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest 10%

If 308 of world richest billionaires were a country they would be the 15th most polluting country in the world

The situation has been totally clear for some time - the western middle classes, who claim to be fully aware of what is at stake, have to get off their arses to stop the far right from getting into power, or they will condemn their kids to death by starvation over the next half century.

Or what exactly do you think 2C leading to 3C actually means?

"We’re not killing the planet. We’re killing our future on it."

We’re warming the planet faster than most mass extinctions in history.

The last time it happened this fast, 90% of species vanished. Focus on historic temperatures isn't the point, the speed of change is.

Advocates of laissez-faire economics — including libertarians, neoliberals, and free-market capitalists — have long claimed that one of the biggest dangers of too much state intervention is that it will stifle innovation.

China is taking a sledgehammer to that idea, completely annihilating it.

Sure, there is a thriving private sector in China that plays a key role in the country’s national system of innovation.

But the state — not the capitalists — ultimately controls the direction of investment in China.

The state — not the capitalists — has formulated strategic industrial policies to make China a global powerhouse in clean energy tech, electronics, and rare earths processing.

The state — not the capitalists — is in control of the means of production and the commanding heights of the economy.

China is a socialist market economy where corporate power and wealth don’t translate into immense political power. This makes China fundamentally different from many Western capitalist economies. And this also explains why China will most likely win the global innovation race even more decisively in the years ahead.
