Renewables have seen massive growth over the last decade right? 10ys ago: ~80% global energy use was fossil fuel. Today, its still ~80%. Global energy consumption continues to grow. Sadly so too does use of fossil fuels. There is a major need to reduce overall consumption.

Today, its still ~80%.

Sadly so too does use of fossil fuels.

Energy efficiency is the unsung hero of Europe’s industrial competitiveness. Without efficiency gains since 2000, industry would use 1/3 more energy—costing tens of billions more every year. It’s not just energy prices that matter, but how smartly we use energy.

This can't be repeated often enough A BEV consumes about 160 kg of 🔋 battery cell materials over its lifetime. And at the end of life 70% - 90% is recovered. An ICE burns through 17,000 liters of fuel. Gone. No recovery. No recycling. Just burned into the atmosphere.

Did you know how much of the power generation capacity added each year world-wide was in renewables? 2022 it was 80 % 2023 it was 86 % 2024 it was 92,5 % Not because the whole world suddenly turned „woke“, but because it’s the cheapest!

Pessimists sound clever. Optimists change the world. I love this depiction of the energy transition by RMI.

Worried on solar canniballisation? It doesn't take a lot of battery to maintain solar revenues☀️ We modelled changing revenues for 90MW solar +120MWh battery using spot power prices.. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

All those who claim that BEVs consume a lot of minerals should read the facts, stop using their ICE vehicle immediately, and buy a BEV.
