A potentially precedent-setting vote today in #Europe: Should the world's largest development bank - EIB - promise to never again fund fossil fuel-based #energy projects? #Development#banks, #solar, #finance, #markets
India runs on coal. It's cheap, reliable. But renewables' new, low LCOE just made #solar much cheaper there. Every step counts...

Tired of blackouts, expensive oil, & China-backed coal plants, #Pakistan plans 7GW in #renewables by 2025. #Industrial users gained govt incentives to go green, in December the govt auctions rights to build #solar & #wind, and the #WorldBank is supporting. #energy, #electricity
The Pope speaks, $ follows. Next yr, all #Catholic properties in Washington, DC, will be solar-powered by 2MW being built in NE DC by #CatholicEnergies & #IGS Solar. https://t.co/G9Vzc3l2L3 #solar, #energy
"Micro?" This hybrid can power key buildings even if weather knocks out power everywhere else. https://t.co/SGvvreZesu #electricity, #microgrid,#energy
Potential WINNERS if Iran-US conflict escalates: Renewable #energy, oil-rich nations that don't export thru the Middle East. MIXED: Saudi & UAE (higher oil prices, but tougher to do biz). LOSERS: #GCC tourism, economies of US, India, others. #solar, #iran, #oil
Don't box me in. Also, check your data again. Even if you looked at last month. Thx, @McKinsey for these and other #digitalization lessons. https://t.co/6uAdsxs072
1yr ago, #Saudi women won the right to drive. #Uber claims 200 female drivers. Gradual cultural changes will affect #transport greatly, but change is slow. IE, in 2020, #women can leave KSA w/o a man's permission

Here's the money shot media missed. ;) #NYC transformer fire caused a major #blackout this wkend – and on the 42nd anniversary of a much worse one that led to looting, which launched NY's famous tough-on-crime laws. https://t.co/1AXhhJtNRz #energy, #electricity
