Energy Dome has signed a contract with Alliant Energy for a 200MWh long-duration energy storage (LDES) project in Wisconsin, which the US utility considers the “first of many.” https://t.co/MoG2Aq38Up

EVs jumped to 3.3 million in 2023 — a 25-fold increase from 2014!! Many states now 100% Renewable Energy! Bravo ... and ignore all the negative B.S. out there! #RealClimateAction

Staggering that most people have no idea about this or what it means for their families.
They don’t think about it, let alone talk about it, because our corporate-owned system has got us fixated on every possible inanity while it profits from us blindly devouring our own futures.

Day 111 of the year (Sat, Sep, 21) where #WindWaterSolar supply exceeded demand on California's main grid for part of the day.

Over entire 199-day period since March 7, solar, wind, battery output 28%, 8%, 101% higher; fossil gas output 28% lower.

Good morning with good news: Nevada is shining!
NV Solar doubled in 4 years & quadrupled in 8 years:

A headline you're going to see few years for the next decade: "McKinsey slashes long-term clean hydrogen demand predictions due to cost, regulation, and uncertainty that some sectors will need it". Feel free to remember this tweet! https://t.co/pqXNhcSMRH

The concept of "baseload" power generation is outdated, says the head of Australia's energy market operator.

Flexibility is now the order of the day.

The majority of earth's scientists now believe we are headed for at least 2.5°C of warming.

We're in a climate emergency. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

California accuses ExxonMobil of lying about plastics being recyclable -- just another thing they have lied about for decades!! Scum! https://t.co/7M5DCwcUI1

With more than half of September 2024 now in, its clear that we will not be surpassing 2023's "gobsmackingly bananas" record warmth for the month.

However, it will still likely be ~0.3C warmer than any September on record prior to 2023:

Fact: We've had dozens of new methane-reducing policies since 2010

Also Fact: Methane levels are increasing faster

Why?
- Big Oil doing less than nothing
- Methane leaks up from wetlands and melting permafrost
- And the scariest: we don't really know because "there’s something happening in the tropics, and there’s a lot of concern that increased tropical emissions may be something of a tipping point for methane [and] we have no way to mitigate those emissions"

Clearly nothing to see here, let's move along

UK gas plants are hardly running as renewable power floods the grid

- and the UK will shut its last coal power plant in less than two weeks

Uh oh. Don't tell the "EV sales have stalled" folks, but August saw a set of new records in the US:
-Most plug-in vehicles sold (145k)
-Most battery electric vehicles sold (121k)
-Highest battery electric (8.6%) and plug-in vehicle sales shares (10.2%)
Hybrids are also growing ALONGSIDE plug-in vehicles, setting record sales volume (148k) & market share (12.1%) too.
Sounds to me like it's actually internal combustion vehicle sales that have stalled... 🤔

Far more land is taken up to grow corn for ethanol (30 million acres) than is needed for utility PV (17+ million acres) to power the entire U.S. for all energy- electricity, transportation, buildings, and industry after full electrification

Heat pumps work when it's cold.

Our research shows: In fact they are much more efficient than fossil fuel systems even at sub-zero temperatures.

One of the world’s biggest wind farms is being planned in Scotland. It will provide power to five million homes, and create 6,000 full time equivalent jobs: https://t.co/LR9MHRMHCq

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate
