In 2014, 1% of global electricity generation came from solar power. Today, solar accounts for more than 8.8% of the electricity generated. It’s the fastest-growing source of electricity, thanks to policy alignment and financial mechanisms that accelerated cost declines. https://t.co/qFWslP29Yd

How we prompt AI is very different in 2026 than 2022 when ChatGPT came out.

I'm teaching a new course, AI Prompting for Everyone, to help you become an AI power user — whatever your current skill level.

It covers skills that apply across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI tools. How to use deep research mode for well-researched reports on complex questions. How to give AI the right context, including more documents and images than most people realize you can provide. When to ask AI to think hard for several minutes on important decisions like what car to buy, what to study, or what job to take. And how to use AI to generate images, analyze data, and build simple games and websites.

I also cover intuitions about how these models work under the hood, so you know when to trust an answer and when not to.

Along the way, you'll see flying squirrels, a creativity test, some of my old family photos, and fireworks.

Global sales of combustion engine cars peaked in 2017—

To decarbonize road transport, the world must move away from petrol and diesel cars towards electric vehicles and other forms of low-carbon transport.

This transition has already started. In fact, global sales of combustion engine cars are well past their peak and are now falling.

As you can see in the chart, global sales peaked in 2017. This is calculated based on data from the International Energy Agency. Bloomberg New Energy Finance also estimated this peak occurred around that time.

Sales of electric cars, on the other hand, are growing quickly. They more than doubled in the three years from 2022 to 2025.

1/ Today, I published a letter on the three forces shaping our energy future: The surging demand for electricity; the growing geopolitical advantage of clean technology; and the disruptive market forces lowering the costs of clean energy.

Renewables just hit 49.4% of global electricity capacity. 5.15 terawatts. Solar drove 75% of the new additions. Some people thought it was impossible.

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average https://t.co/2Tp3A6cwTY

Energy powers prosperity.

The innovation pipeline is stronger than ever. As founders, investors, and partners gather in Houston for the BEV Investor Summit, we’ll focus on what it takes to scale companies that can deliver affordable, reliable, clean energy across the world’s largest industries.

Grid resilience efforts are not just defensive infrastructure maintenance; they also increasingly underpin economic development, industrial competitiveness and national security @jpmorgan https://t.co/cCKoPMOLaA

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule:

✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy
✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles
✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles)
✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China)

The cynics said it couldn't be done.
