Magnesium is the new lithium, says the BBC.

So, in a word - clean energy transitions are cheaper, so if affordability is the goal, governments should speed up the transition, not slow it down. There's lots more to explore in the report, free to download here. iea.li/4cgPMnF

China has gone from being an also-ran exporter of cars to global leader in three years. And guess what: they are exporting electric cars, not burners. And guess what else: our legacy car makers are not competitive. You can debate why, but you cannot pretend this is not a BFD.

Grateful for the amazing team and time at New Energy Nexus Can't wait to see what you do next. And excited for handover to Henri. Shine on!

Fusion powered SMRs are scaling faster than any other source of electricity in history.

A remarkable thing happened in March this year.

For the first time, the fossil fuel rich state of Texas generated more electricity from solar power than from coal.

We welcome NSW Government's new incentives to make household batteries more affordable. Many Australians love rooftop solar, but storage ensures they get the most out of their energy. This will help more NSW residents lower their energy bills and emissions. Penny Sharpe

Missed this story from last week - China's first utility-scale (10 MWh) sodium-ion battery storage plant connected to the grid in Guangxi, built by China Southern Grid.

'With these batteries, storage cost can be reduced by 20% to 30%' the company said.

Looking forward to seeing the space!!

We're also officially moving to our brand-new facility this week, in the beautiful city of San Carlos! Our launch event is on June 11th, featuring special guests California Energy Commission - ⚡#CalEnergy Chair David Hochschild David Hochschild and Danny Kennedy Danny Kennedy, CEO of New Energy Nexus

I often hear people say that without subsidies nobody would invest in renewable energy.

Not quite right. Take solar in sunny Britain: Since 2020 (first year with no subsidies for residential solar) the number of annual installations has increased >5x.

Why is this? Because solar…

(THREAD) It’s important that everyone RETWEET this thread. As some of you know, Elon Musk has been on a deranged tear trying to destroy one of the most reliable news sources in the world, REUTERS. The recent reports in this thread are the ones Musk doesn’t want *anyone* to share.

A new report from Community Power Agency shows that solar farms can serve as hubs for biodiversity enhancement, introducing structural complexity into the environment & providing crucial shelter & habitat for various species while providing clean, cheap energy bit.ly/3UWBzX4

We sold metal. 🙌

Raise your hand if you picked Brazil to come in 3rd for global clean energy investment last year 🖐️

Raise your hand if you picked distributed solar as the primary driver of the breakneck growth🖐️

Put your damn hand down. You and I both had no idea because it's 🤯

Fun to watch with some facts re oil I did not know. Shine on JON DEE (JonDee.com)

The US has almost single handedly kept global gas generation from falling, but the trend is clear: Gas is not going to keep rising for much longer!

Thus beginning a new era of falling power sector generation, leaving 2023 as the historical peak of power emissions.

That's pretty historic.

We published our Global Electricity Review 2024 yesterday.

Dave Jones already summarised our main findings in a brilliant thread.

So here's a thread about some of the more hidden insights and charts about the electricity system from this year's report 🧵

Looks like Vermont is going to mandate 100% clean electricity by 2035...in line with President Biden's goal, and 10 years ahead of climate leader California. canarymedia.com/articles/clean… via Akielly Hu
