@RoyPentland @GeoffreyLean @OrbPlanet Texas, very independent Utilities, invests more in renewable energy than any other state. Do you think they are stupid. Renewable energy wins 90% of new electric power generation year after year because it have proven to be a better return on investment. World wide

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

@lopez_prol Yes! Interconnecting wind farms can convert completely intermittent wind into partially baseload and reduce transmission requirements.

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon.

China's EV charging volumes were up a whopping 69% in April, showing a significant acceleration even from the pre-crisis growth trend and showing how a shift to EVs is mitigating the oil crunch. Urban rail and taxi ridership increased 6% and 7%.

New eye-opening grid-scale battery data for the states with the most batteries in the U.S.

Ranking of states/grids that can meet the highest % of average demand with batteries cycling daily:

CA (CAISO) 10.6% of demand
AZ 7.9%
NV 5.7%
TX 2.1%

Cost of all the installed batteries as a % of electricity price:

CAISO 0.83%
AZ 1.3%
NV 1.1%
TX 0.34%

Most stable grid (based on lowest wholesale electricity prices: CAISO

Although CA and TX have similar battery peak discharge rates, CA has over 2x the storage capacity as TX since TX batteries are mostly 2-h batteries whereas CA batteries are mostly 4-h batteries.

Data do not include BTM batteries.

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

@NotAvgLiberal I really don't care.

The president's frequent claim that China doesn't build wind power is an up-is-down reversal of reality. "Last year, China installed three times as much wind power capacity as the rest of the world combined, even as its turbine exports jumped." https://t.co/xSzHlOtDiT

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

"Leaders who depend on imported fuel increasingly see solar, batteries, electric transport, and efficiency not as political burdens but as tools for containing the price shocks that drive their citizens into the streets. For the first time in the climate era, public interest in cheap, secure clean power and political interest in regime continuity point in the same direction"

Americans would be less pessimistic about climate change if the media & members of Congress treated it like the important issue that it is

BREAKING: UK govt is targeting 87% cut in emissions by 2040 under the 7th "carbon budget"

It says meeting this target will boost energy security, lower bills, create jobs and growth, improve quality of life – and tackle the "climate crisis"

In the past two weeks, the president has lied that he’d have won California with an honest vote count, that California doesn’t allow people to vote in person, and that California mails out 15 million excess ballots. All absolute nonsense. https://t.co/lCo2EJ9oMv

After 5 full months in 2026, WindWaterSolar supply has exceeded demand on 127 of 151 (84.1%) days, including 61 straight.

Gas use is down 61% vs 2023, supplying only 14.7% of demand during 2026, vs 37.2% in 2023.

Battery output is up 331% and solar output is up 55% vs 2023.

In-state WWS has so far supplied 56.2% of demand.

Demand is also down 1.2% vs 2023 despite CA having the 3rd-most datacenters, by far the most EVs, and large numbers of heat pumps.

While CA has high retail electricity prices due to wildfire costs, gas disaster costs, T&D upgrades, high gas prices, and high nuclear prices passed onto customers, CA is the most energy-efficient state in the U.S., so electricity bills are lower than many states, including Texas.

CA also has the most stable grid in the U.S., as evidenced by the lowest wholesale (spot) prices in the U.S.
