Good news Friday: In the UK wind and solar are on track to generate more electricity than gas in 2024. Note: The last coal plant will go offline by 30 September 2024. Source for data is @EmberClimate

Good morning with good news: Skyrocketing wind & solar are now generating more electricity than gas in UK. W&S generated 54 TWh, compared to 40 TWh for gas, from January to July 2024! UK has also nearly ended coal. In the UK, first coal; now gas! Credit Jan Rosenow

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning: "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: economist.com/interactive/un…

If you want to understand the depth of China's industrial policy and economic statecraft, look at gallium. China produces 98% of the world's gallium, which is not mined directly but is a byproduct of aluminum production. China makes 59% of the world's aluminum. DARPA originally

Here’s the time-lapse I promised you from yesterday’s solar activity. Complete with Earth to scale and a bonus of the sun’s rotation. This is easily one of my cleanest time-lapses I’ve managed over such a long period. Enjoy!

Very impressive weather pattern in Europe right now. Strong easterly winds and hot in Central/Northern Europe meanwhile heavy rain plagues the west with much cooler conditions. The heat is breaking records (for this time of year). THREAD

Until this heatwave... Sweden 🇸🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴 had never hit > 30 °C in September. New national records have been set and by huge margin. Extraordinary weather pattern in Europe right now. THREAD

We observe the retreat battle of a technology that was never efficient unless the main plan was to subsidise the production of nuclear bombs.
