Stunning EV progress in so many countries. October 2025 share of new car sales, selected countries: 1 Norway 97.4% 2 Nepal 76% (trend) 3 Denmark 73.4% (September) 4 Ethiopia 60% (trend) 5 China 58.7% (NEVs) 6 Albania 57% 7 Netherlands 40.2% 8 Belgium 36.4% 9 Sweden 36.2% (65.7%…
Australian cats eat 13.7 kilos of fish each year, more than the 11 kilos of fish and seafood eaten on average by humans. Why? Because of the very dark underbelly of the fishing industry: >Severe human rights abuses >Widespread modern slavery >Violence >Human trafficking…
This is the new normal: South East Asia is currently drowning because of the "unusual alignment of two climate forces behind record-breaking rain" >Hundreds killed in Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia >Millions (millions!) displaced >Exceptionally severe floods,…

“I think solar power is going to be a really big deal.” In 2007, solar was 0.04% of global electricity. It's now ~9%, and growing faster than any other source EVER has.
A safe journey home to the 1,600 Big Oil lobbyists leaving COP30. You can rest easy knowing you successfully stalled global action, greedily protecting short-term profits while we teeter on the edge of irreversible climate tipping points. Great work. For a masterclass lecture on…
One of the most ominous risks for Europe is that of a major change in Atlantic ocean currents. Recent science suggests it has been greatly underestimated in the past -including by me, having worked on it for over 30 years. Here my half-hour presentation in Vilnius a week ago!
Massive energy transformation underway: Indonesia legislates its commitment to go 70% renewables by 2035 through its Electricity Supply Business Plan, a huge leap from today (renewables only at 16% of electricity mix) hijau.bisnis.com/read/20251120/…
Heavy trucks in China: >2020: 99% of new trucks ran on diesel >First half 2024: Electric trucks at 9.2% of new heavy truck sales >First half 2025: Electric trucks at 22% >August 2025: 28% >By end of 2025: 46% >2026: 60% China’s electric trucks already cutting oil demand by the…
Meanwhile: Great Britain sets new wind generation record supplying 43.6% of all power in the system last week: 3/4 of Britain’s homes were effectively running on wind alone So many said, and still say, it can't be done. Except it's getting done. energylivenews.com/2025/11/20/win…
In the world's largest car market, China (25.8m cars sold in China 2023, v. 15.4m in the US, 12.8m in Europe), EVs are now 51% of all cars sold Watch demand for oil crash by 2030, driven by the electrification of transport + renewables and BESS getting insanely cheap #climate
Battery storage also transformative for Texas: >12GW+ installed, up 15 times v. 2021 >Today: BESS over 50% of the grid stability supplies used by Texas’s grid >Coal and gas: used to be stability backbone, now under 20% of supplies procured bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Battery storage has been transformative for California: >17GW installed, up 13 times in 5 years >50% share of US market >Helping state avoid rolling blackouts >Together with solar, eliminated 37% of fossil gas use on grid latimes.com/environment/st…

Fact: Globally, renewables overtook coal in the electricity mix for the first time on record, up 7.7% in the first half of 2025 Their share increased to 34.3%, up from 32.7% in the same period last year Coal’s share dropped to 33.1% from 34.2% Global gas generation also fell…
You may have heard that a "nuclear renaissance" is gathering pace, driven recently by something called “small modular reactors” or SMRs. Apparently, SMRs are going to be ubiquitous everywhere and are going to play a key part in decarbonization. Simply put, this isn't going to…
We hear a lot about these new mini nukes - Small Modular Reactors - their official name. Fast to deploy we hear, if you call ten years fast. Lots of jobs we hear, but at £3bn for 3k jobs it works out to £1m per job - is that value for money…? (Forty years of average UK pay per…
Stupid people keep repeating the “China is building hundreds of coal plants” line without understanding what the hell they’re looking at. Most of these units are peaker plants — grid-balancing assets designed for short, infrequent operation as renewables surge. They’re not…
Exactly what I discussed on Episode 95 of the Angry Clean Energy Guy podcast, except for the whole world rather than just the US: “The Achilles heel of AI and AGI is electricity. By 2030, new data centers require $6.7 trillion worldwide, based on current market data, to keep…
One year later, the staggering energy shortfall to power the AI revolution rises from 36GW to 44GW. At $60BN per GW, this is $2.5 Trillion in grid funding needed and EXCLUDES the $2 Trillion needed to build the actual data centers (source Morgan Stanley).
"What if the AI race isn’t about chips at all?" Hint: It isn't about chips. It's about access to cheap electricity at massive scale ft.com/content/e4c9ac…
