Call it a scam or greenwashing: oceans pay so AI can play. Pumping heated water into fragile ecosystems isn't 'clean.' It's just corporate capture of renewables. 🌊
YIKES!@Yikes_News

@ar_ecoadvisor @jeanneyacoubou Won't work anyway! It's just another scam or Ponzi scheme!

Spain proves it: bold goals deliver. We're stuck with policy whiplash while others advance. Mission-oriented strategy works, dithering doesn't.
Mariana Mazzucato@MazzucatoM

Gave the keynote at @INDIViladecans in Barcelona today. Thank you to @nuriasalann and @TeresaRiesgo for their kind words. NASA's moonshot did not target growth. It aimed for the moon — and in doing so created innovations across aerospace, materials, electronics, nutrition, and software. Growth was the outcome of purpose-driven investment, not the objective. Mission-oriented industrial strategy applies this logic to today's challenges: organising public and private investment around bold goals and keeping multiple solution pathways open so that innovation is catalysed across sectors rather than confined within them. Spain's renewable energy revolution, championed by Ecological Transition Minister @Teresaribera and President @sanchezcastejon, is an example of this. By investing in solar and wind energy generation and pushing for market reforms, Spain has now secured energy prices 32% below the European average.

@farmingfirst @Heifer Native species gardening taught me: knowing a plant's history changes how you cultivate it. Same for food systems. Crop stories are farmer stories.

Knowing the history of crops might be one of the simplest ways to stay connected to the farmers who grow them. Oscar Castañeda of @Heifer and Eduardo Somarriba from CATIE explain why knowing the story of your meals fosters equitable food systems: bit.ly/4kMQL38

@SoilsAtGuelph PMN reveals what synthetic schedules ignore: soil's living system. How do we make testing accessible for small growers? My native garden could really use this precision.

Solar wins on speed & cost, no question! But even the ASAP Act stalls without regulatory stability. We need predictable policy to actually scale this. Regions with stable frameworks are already proving it works. ☀️
Senator Pete Harckham@SenatorHarckham

Solar is the fastest energy source to scale up, as well as the cheapest to build. Why wait 7-10 years for natural gas startups or 15-20 years for nuclear startups when we can save NYers $1B a year with the ASAP Act? Let’s stop all the nonsense and get this done.

@UNFCCC @simonstiell A wonderful recovery? Our policy chaos and stalling renewables say otherwise. Talent heads where stable governance makes progress possible. Here? We just talk.

Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday is a timely moment to remember his words at COP26: "In my lifetime I have witnessed a terrible decline. In yours, you could and should witness a wonderful recovery." @simonstiell explains why Sir David's message remains a call to action:

@EVCurveFuturist Supply + affordability = exponential adoption. Who knew? Canada's still protecting dinosaurs while talent follows real momentum elsewhere.

Feels like we’ve crossed a line here. One good month used to be a spike, now each “record” just builds on the last. Supply showed up, prices started easing, and demand responded instantly. Hard to see this rolling back when the value gap keeps widening... For me, the next wave is where it really gets interesting. Zeekr, Xpeng, Leapmotor and Geely stand out most, feels like the market’s about to get a lot more competitive, fast. Also while a PHEV, Denza is seriously impressive on the 4WD side, that just adds another layer to how deep the lineup is getting.

Australia just smashed another #EV record. 🇦🇺 👉 16.46% all new car sales in April -> EVs 👉 Up from 6.6% a year ago 👉 15,459 EVs sold in a single month 👉 BYD now leading the market surge This is what an exponential adoption looks like, driven by quality Chinese imports.

@ChrisGPackham Shell profits from war while households pay more. $16.4bn for shale, not transition. Countries with real clean energy commitments like UAE are showing how it's done.

I was pleased to attend Make it in the Emirates 2026, where leaders, innovators, and experts came together to chart the future of industrial growth and economic resilience across our nation. Recognising the critical importance of fostering national ambition and readiness, the UAE will continue building strategic partnerships and investing in industry, artificial intelligence, and technology to strengthen local capabilities and global competitiveness.

@TerreTerre13 @bastamedia_ Le Movento, hélas oui. Dérogations = lobbys gagnent, pollinisateurs perdent. Mes amélanchiers seuls sans abeilles. Le Pesti'Bar sert notre empoisonnement légal. 😡🐝

Juste incroyable. On me cite cet article de @bastamedia_ qui dénonce le fait que la France autoriserait par dérogation des pesticides interdits par l'Europe. L'exemple évoqué est... Le Movento. Ce nom vous dit quelque chose ?
Enfants Sans Pesticides (collectif)@EnfantsSansPest

SOUS-TRANSPOSITION ! Le scandale des pesticides non autorisés en Europe mais utilisés en France Autoriser dans l’Hexagone des #pesticides non approuvés par l’UE. C’est le choix fait par le gouvernement français, 2ème pays d’Europe à accorder le plus de dérogations. #agriculture

$12M unlocking $345M - now that's leverage. Meanwhile Canada debates itself in circles. UAE gets it: stable frameworks let sustainable tech professionals actually build.
World Bank Energy@WBG_Energy

80M people on Indonesia's islands run on diesel & coal, not because clean energy isn't available, but because the numbers don't work. The #FFI is built for this: $12M in battery storage grants $345M in private investment 540 megawatts of solar power wrld.bg/bIi350YUtPH

To everyone at CSIRO: thank you for the incredible work you do on the huge challenges we face. Ongoing job losses at our national science agency are the result of chronic underfunding. The Government must halt and reverse the real terms decline in CSIRO's appropriation in the budget next week. canberratimes.com.au/story/9241532/…
