Batteries just keep on getting cheaper and cheaper. The average price of lithium-ion battery cells dropped from $290 per kilowatt-hour in 2014 to $103 in 2023.

Why are solar & wind booming? They're cheaper! NEW wind, solar and hydro are cheaper globally than fossil fuel generation! 2023 Global average cost: Fossil Fuels 7.1 cents/kWh Hydro 5.7 cents/kWh Solar PV 4.4 cents/kWh Land Wind 3.3 cents/kWh Page 21: irena.org/Publications/2…

Electrification is efficiency. When we electrify our energy systems coupled with clean electricity, something remarkable occurs: significant inefficiencies disappear. As a result, in a decarbonized world, our overall energy final demand will be much lower than it is today.

Arizona is building the first solar canal in the U.S. . Solar-covered canals will generate renewable energy and save water in this notoriously dry area: buff.ly/3wEcF5h We have so many solutions to this crisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done. Protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #deforestation #rewilding #solutions

This year will likely end up being the warmest in the last 100,000+ years. Through August 19th, 2024 is 1.59°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.

This is wild. China is a global leader in the entire range of renewable energy manufacturing.

The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with an equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: This is not necessary because conversion losses do not need to be replaced. More than 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. I first heard @MLiebreich use this term which captures this phenomenon nicely I think.
