@JimSteeleSkepti @hausfath You are an expert on BS, for sure. You are a climate denier, a leading example of BS. I proudly block all climate deniers.
Goodbye!

@johnrhanger @hausfath Such bullshit from Hanger
There were more fires in Canada and the USA during the Little Ice Age. Blaming the fires on climate change is just more grifting alarmist propaganda!

As @hausfath shows, Canadian boreal fires are not a function of forest mismanagement but instead:
"Canada’s area burned has surged, and it has surged in step with warming...area burned rises roughly 80% for each 1C increase in fire-season temperature."

If you're on the East Coast today, there is a thing that you can call your Senator about -- which is to pass the Fix Our Forests Act! It is stalled in the Senate and will make it easier to do preventative forest management so that "normal," fires that are part of ecosystem health don't become out-of-control conflagrations that send out smoke thousands of miles away.

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing.
Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.

Hungary will increase ~13x wind generation to 4 GW from 300 MW by 2030!
Wind will generate 15%-20% of Hungary's power at 4 GW.
Solar generated ~28% of its power in 2025!
Hungary will be ~50% solar & wind by 2030 & 90-95% non-fossil power by 2030!

Good morning with good news: Sales of BEV in Germany surged 78.2% in June 2026!
BEV are up 48% in first half of 2026.
BEV led all drive types for first time!
BEV & PHEV were 39.3% of sales in June, with BEV at 28.4%.
Germany is 5th largest market

Residential batteries. I have one without solar. My Texas Retail Electricity Provider offers them for what I consider a small fee. They own the battery, do any maintenance, and use in their own Virtual Power Plant. I get outage protection for far less than the cost of a generator. My battery should cover all but the most severe outages. Here is a day when they put my house on battery power and stopped buying high-priced wholesale kWh on my behalf. They charged the battery back up soon afterward. This is 24 hours. The blue fields show times I was on battery. The upper line shows the effect of discharging and recharging.

"American homeowners installing rooftop solar panels are adding batteries at record rates, with storage now paired to roughly 45 percent of new residential systems nationwide." California drives these numbers. Net-metering policy does as well. msn.com/en-us/news/tec…

John, do you happen to track Eos Energy ($EOSE). They produce a zinc-halide stationary battery. No lithium or conflict materials.
They pre-released Q2 revenue at $68-69mm a few days ago.
That puts them above $110mm for H1 and they are ramping fast. We won't get actual production numbers for H1 until Aug 5, but it should be close 0.5GWh.
Guidance is $300mm-$400mm for the year, so H2 has to effectively double H1.
They have a second manufacturing line that is just a month into initial operation, so doubling H1 is very feasible. Conceivably they could triple it as the their first line wasn't fully ramped itself in H1.
The stated capacity is 4GWh/yr as they exit this year. Just 6 months from now.
Their first commercial customers are just now starting to commission sites, so this is very start of the Eos Energy story. But I think it will get to be a big story over time!

Huge!
CATL signs MOU with Dutch company Alfen to deploy 5 GWh of Sodium storage systems across Europe.
Batteries are rated for 15,000 cycles & a 25-to-30-year life.
Battery innovation breaking link to Lithium.
Big help for solar & wind.

@ecojuanmart EU is at about 65% nuclear, hydro, wind and solar electricity now. That does not include biomass.
100% in a decade is ambitious but possible.
English
@johnrhanger 100% clean in a decade is ambitious. But nuclear needs to grow too, not just hold at 21%. Can't reach net zero with stagnant baseload. ⚛️

Solar was the EU's single largest source of electricity in June!
Solar reaches 25% in June!
Wind and solar were 33% of EU's electricity in the first 6 months of 2026, up from 31.5% in 2025.
Solar and wind now are boosted by batteries.
New energy world!

NEW | Solar generated a QUARTER of EU electricity in June 🇪🇺⚡️ Solar was also the single largest source of power generation (25%) ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%) and wind (14%). Five years ago, in 2021, solar was still at 10% in June.

Big hybrid renewable project opens in South Africa!
"Known as the Hydra project, the facility comprises a 216MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 500MW-hour battery energy storage system (BESS)."
Solar grows rapidly in South Africa!

English
@ecojuanmart Agreed.
The nuclear and hydro bases make it quite possible for wind and solar with batteries to generate the remaining about 65% to reach 100% clean electricity.
That is doable in a decade.
English
@johnrhanger These numbers are wild. Solar went from 10% to 25% in five years. But nuclear stays at 21% regardless of season. That's baseload. Spain at 34% solar is notable too. ⚛️

Good morning with good news: The Philippines inaugurated 1.3 GW of solar & 825 MW/3.3 GWh of battery storage at MTerra on July 14th!
MTerra will be one of world's largest at 3.5 GW of solar & 4.5 GWh of storage, when it's completed in 2027!

Solar Can Deliver Multiple Benefits
Dual-use solar methods like ecovoltaics and agrivoltaics show solar "can generate renewable energy while simultaneously boosting biodiversity, conserving water, and securing steady income for landowners."

The rise of batteries:
California hit 33% of peak load within 22 quarters of batteries passing 1%. Australia 23% in 17, Texas 17% in 16. Great Britain took 28 quarters to reach 17%.
Once the curve bends, deployment compounds.
