Quiet has returned to Inukjuak. The Innavik Project, a 7.5-megawatt run-of-river hydroelectric facility, has reduced Inukjuak’s reliance on diesel by 80%. A great example of a project based in respect and collaboration. ➡️ buff.ly/Nne4YXU

make more electricity burn less fuel electricity gets cheaper crazy how that works

NEW: Falling fossil everywhere: For the first time in 2025, fossil electricity generation fell in EVERY OECD country, compared to its peak. Solar and wind are helping the power sector to transition away from fossil fuels #TAFF

China isn’t “betting on nuclear” or “heading back to fossils.” It’s scaling a whole new energy system in real time. Wind & solar -> doing the heavy lifting. Nuclear is growing… but at system scale, it’s a rounding error. This isn’t a transition. It’s a legacy system rapture. Most people get stuck on headlines like “China is building coal and nuclear.” True. But that’s not the signal. Here’s the system in 2025 (installed capacity): Total: 3,887 GW Solar: 1,202 GW (30.9%) Wind: 640 GW (16.5%) Hydro: 448 GW (11.5%) Nuclear: 62 GW (1.6%) Thermal: 1,539 GW (39.5%) Wind + solar: 1,842 GW 47.4% of total capacity. Solar alone is ~19× nuclear. Now zoom out (2010 → 2025 growth): Solar: ~+17,000%+ (from near-zero at system scale) Wind: +1,960% Nuclear: +520% Hydro: +107% Fossil (thermal): +117% One of these is exponential. The rest are incremental. Fossil capacity is still growing. Its dominance is shrinking. Now the part people miss: China has ~20–25 nuclear reactors under construction. Sounds big. It isn’t. That pipeline adds ~20–30 GW over time. China added more solar than that in months. Scale wins. Growth tells the real story (2015 → 2025): Solar: +1,159 GW Wind: +509 GW Nuclear: +35 GW Not even close. On generation: Yes, coal still dominates output. It runs more hours. But the structure is shifting: Wind + solar are already ~22% of generation and rising fast. They’re taking most of demand growth. Coal’s share is declining structurally, even if absolute output fluctuates. Capacity shows where the system is going. Generation shows where it is today. China is building the future faster than it can retire the past. This isn’t ideology. It’s deployment physics. Cost curves follow deployment and cost always wins. I spent a lot of time getting this chart and data right because it matters. There’s a constant stream of fear-driven misinformation about China’s energy system. Some of it comes from politics, some from business interests, and some from commentators who underestimate their own biases. This is why data matters. #Bettrification

CATL says sodium batteries are mainstream-ready, signs massive 60 GWh deal The three-year agreement is equivalent to half of all energy storage batteries CATL delivered in 2025. electrek.co/2026/04/27/cat…

In 2025, EVs displaced 1.8m barrels of oil every single day. That’s 13% of total US crude production just wiped out by electrons - while EV sales just smashed through 25% of the global market It’s an extinction event for the petrol engine and the toxic industry that fuels it

@Poet___Myst @politicalham What? Me worry?

Um, WTAF?

This is my favourite graphic. It's incredible how far DAYTIME solar has already come with almost no batteries. Just think how this will change with batteries, when instead of daytime solar, we get DISPATCHABLE solar. The solar boom is only just starting...

@LHubich Eww!

If you’re wondering why criminal shit is going on at the highest levels of the Alberta government here’s your answer:

@Pembina Petro-fascism.

Alberta has thousands of orphan oil and gas wells that industry isn't cleaning up. ❌⛽ And this year? The number of orphan wells will increase by nearly 100%. If industry doesn’t bear the cost, Albertans will. #abpoli

44% of evening peak met by batteries. In California, world’s 4th largest economy. Not some tiny pilot project or a niche experiment, a global industrial powerhouse If you’re still sitting in boardrooms or parliament banging on about baseload and the intermittency of renewables, you’re not just wrong, you’re a dinosaur California's 44% isn't an anomaly. It's a preview of the 2027-2030 reality for every major grid overbuilding renewables The "technical barriers" the fossil fuel lobby loves to cry about are gone. We are shifting solar and wind into the night at a massive, industrial scale. We don't need expensive, inflexible coal or gas to keep the lights on; we need more storage and we need it now - everywhere reneweconomy.com.au/grid-batteries…

China hit its 2030 renewables target ~5 years early. Now ~80–90% of new power capacity is wind + solar. So when they say “double by 2035”… that’s not the outcome, it’s the floor. This is what exponential build-out looks like in real time. #Bettrification cleantechnica.com/2026/04/17/chi…

Switching to electric vehicles, solar, and batteries is the logical choice for most countries. Even if it's all imported, it does not create the same urgent, continuous dependence that oil does. Importing combustion vehicles locks you into continuously importing oil. EVs can run on anything, and you can change the energy source at any time. Even if imports are disrupted, you have decades to find a solution. You don't get that kind of long term security with oil.

Fossil gas use 60% lower in 2026 than in 2023 on the @CaliforniaISO grid. 83 of 107 (78%) days and 17 straight in 2026 with WWS meeting >100% of demand for an average of 4 hr every day this year. 51% of all demand met by WWS in 2026, three times that of gas. Batteries up 324% and solar up 69% in 2026 v 2023.
