NEW @IEA data: clean energy investment is now more than double fossil fuels.

$2,155bn vs $1,008bn in 2025.

The crossover happened around 2016. Since then the gap has only widened. What was a narrow lead a decade ago is now a >2-to-1 split.

Today, Trump had a major shouting match with Netanyahu

The reason: Iran’s reaction to Israeli attacks vs Hezbollah

Result: Iran made clear it can protect their proxies

Trump made clear he is desperate

Iran’s power is growing https://t.co/NJDuYK3kV8

This referendum will be won, or lost, based on voter turnout.

The future of Canada will depend on your resolve to vote.

A new renewables revolution. A boom in increasingly cheap household batteries has cut gas use by a quarter in Australia and enabled electricity prices to fall by 10% in parts of the country. Bring them on here…..

International Booker Prize Goes to a Love Story Out of Taiwan
“Taiwan Travelogue” is the first novel originally written in Mandarin to win the major award for fiction translated into English.
In her acceptance speech, author Yang Shuang-zi stated: “Literature has never ceded ground, nor given up on dialogue between people,” Yang said. “The century-old inquiries in Taiwan’s literature are in fact the century-old pursuit of freedom and equality by Taiwan’s people.” Adding this to my reading list. via NYT

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

If you want to lower electricity prices, replace fossil fuels with WindWaterSolar

Your state or country will also save on health costs.

Your state or country will also be more energy secure.

Simple as that.

We have entered the incredible new era of 24/7 firm renewable power, an industrial and sovereign inevitability. The economics are brutal for anyone holding fossil assets. Here's the raw data from the latest 2026 IRENA, IEA, and Ember reports:

What a complete failure. Trump gave
Putin all sorts of concessions, including cutting aid to Ukraine and denying Ukraine membership into NATO, and got nothing in return. Sad chapter in American diplomatic history.

This is not a referendum-on-a-referendum.

The options are:
1) Stay in Canada.
2) Start the legal process to hold a binding separation referendum.

In #2, there's no promise of a binding separation referendum. But a binding separation referendum is way closer than AB is now.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

You HAVE to watch this clip!!!!

The UCP released a statement on the referendum committee before the committee was even done!

Seriously, watch this clip!

This is the UCP's "democracy" in action.

This is beyond the pale!

SCOOP: Premier Danielle Smith appointee to Invest Alberta's board is not an accredited accountant, despite claiming so for more than a decade: https://t.co/7ZPr0VwYog By @tom_cardoso and friend

[Taking Alberta Forward, We Stand With #Canada! @sytsema_andy]

The Alberta government’s moratorium on renewable energy was one of the most destructive decisions in recent history. According to expert analysis by the Pembina Institute, it has put $33 billion in private investment and 24,000 job-years at risk — halting momentum on creating thousands of high-quality jobs for young Albertans, building world-leading careers in emerging technologies, and attracting the private capital that could have diversified and strengthened our economy for generations.

What we lost is clear: opportunity. Instead of positioning Alberta as an energy superpower in both traditional and clean sources, we chose to stall innovation and limit the next generation’s prospects — all while the world moves forward. Taking Alberta Forward

The world will get 60.7% of its electricity in 2032 from solar (20.6%), wind (16.7%), hydro (14.1%) & nuclear (9.3%)!

Solar will be largest source in 2032.

Wind will be 2nd largest in 2034.

Energy storage jumps from 220 GW to 2,000 GW by 2035!

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Danielle Smith is pushing her separatist referendum to save her job.
