Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East once again shows that reliance on volatile oil and gas exposes economies to price shocks. Renewables, electrification and storage offer more stable long term energy costs and stronger energy security. https://t.co/7ejmElNKxi
Countries that have adopted electric vehicles the most aggressively will suffer the least from oil price spikes. The US, of course, is not one of those. [Corrected graph.] https://t.co/jl1blEELO0

Interestingly, solar never got polarized among the US populace. For 20 years, it's polled as the most popular energy source in the US, by wide margins, across the country. It's just that certain members of the GOP political class hated...
So what's the purpose of nuclear? CA had enough solar+batteries in 2025 to produce a constant 4 GW every minute of 90% of days in 2025 plus more power during other hours 4 GW=180% of the constant 2.2 GW DC nuc plant,...

On The Climate Brink, @hausfath.bsky.social writes about the trends of spending on clean energy vs. national defense: When will clean energy spending exceed military spending? https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/when-will-clean-energy-spending-exceed
Okay. I've been seeing this make the rounds. It is just a large misunderstanding of the second graph, to the extent that it's drawing the wrong conclusions. The price of electricity from solar and wind in the US *has* flatlined...
How low can gas go? Down 59% in 2026 vs 2023 so far. 14th straight and 41 of 64 days in 2026 with WWS meeting >100% of demand for part of the day. Demand also down 3% vs '23 Solar up 62%; batteries...
One of my predictions in our Climate Brink year end wrapup was that 2026 might be the first year where global clean energy investment exceeds global military spending. Unfortunately with recent wars we will likely have to wait a few more...
Thank you, Madam President, for the invitation & your trust in the @IEA I was glad to share my views with you & all Commissioners on developments in global energy markets and to provide my advice & recommendations on European energy...
It was such a pleasure joining the @GlblCtzn London Impact Roadshow, hosted with @OctopusEnergy. Together with other global changemakers we explored the year ahead; its challenges, opportunities and where collaboration can make the greatest difference. https://t.co/IZaKnhKzEw

Heat pump sales rose 11% in 2025 across 16 European countries, with 2.63 million units sold. Twelve countries saw growth, largely where subsidy schemes were stabilised and electricity costs addressed. Policy certainty and energy levies & taxation are proving decisive. https://t.co/hvp6WLgpb3

Past fossil-fuel price spikes left import-dependent countries with two options: pay up or cut fuel use. Now there is an alternative in solar and batteries. I looked at recent examples in Europe, Pakistan and Cuba to glean what might happen...
