It is hard to grasp just how cheap solar modules have become.

This is a good way to visualize it.

A good reminder that nuclear is a tiny (and decreasing) contributor to the global electricity system. And it is highly localised…
Better keep that in mind when hearing about nuclear renaissance

The Netherlands is one of the fastest adopters of wind and solar in the world 🇳🇱

🌪️ and ☀️ generation rose from 8% in 2015 to 41% in 2023, halving emissions intensity.

How did the Netherlands do it? Find out in #GER24 :

Thanks for coming. It was great to have you around

It was a pleasure yesterday to do a workshop on communication and presentations at Quadrature Climate Foundation in London. (And what a view I had! 😍 )
Thanks Greg De Temmerman !

The rise in wind and solar has ALREADY slowed fossil generation growth from about 3%/year to 1%/year..

And 2023 fossil generation would have been 22% higher without wind and solar..

Sounds like a very exciting initiative!!
Keen to hear more

NEW CHART: How British electricity supplies are shifting decisively away from fossil fuels

Super pleased with this very beautiful graphic, by my colleague Tom Pearson and reminiscent of Joy Division's iconic “Unknown Pleasures” album cover

Being in the US for a few days makes one thing very clear: what they call cars are gigantic 4-wheeled pieces of steel weighing at least 2 tons…
An average human is 70kgs…

A lot of folks have been fixated on changes to sulfur in marine fuels of late, but the much bigger climate story here is the nearly 50% decline in overall global emissions of planet-cooling sulfur dioxide since 1980 – much of which has happened in the last 15 years:

That was fun.
Red Sox versus SFGiants
(Not sure I understand the rules yet)

The US inflation reduction act is a great climate policy.
But the US is also the biggest oil and gas producer in the world- and production is not decreasing yet.
So how to think of the global climate impact?
Genuine question- although very controversial apparently

Carbon Monitor global CO₂ emissions updates: January-March of 2024 is equal to 2023 and 0.9% higher than 2019 (pre-pandemic level). Data download carbonmonitor.org

Qui a inventé Chorus Pro? Qu'il se dénonce svp !!
Je serai clément mais je veux comprendre pourquoi ce truc

Since 2010, battery costs have fallen by more than 90% — offering opportunities to cut emissions in road transport & electricity

In 2023, electric car sales rose to almost 14 million. And battery storage deployment in the power sector more than doubled 👉 iea.li/49Xo910

The copper era is only starting.
A critical element for the energy transition and perhaps the most critical of all

This weekend’s program.
Good luck girls!! (Having competed in the national championships in 2 countries is something)

China: 'catching up with European technology on diesel engines will be tough, we'll massively develop electric vehicles'
Also China: 'by the way, we can still beat the competition on the diesel engine segment'

Fancy place for a meeting

Climate doomism does not lead to climate action. So we really need to find a narrative that does not deny how difficult the energy transition will be but acknowledges that solutions exist
