This is a pretty cool graphic from Ember, showing the percentage of new car sales that are electric in different countries. Reducing the overall number of cars (& their size) is essential, but if they do exist they should be electric. We're well on the way! 🎉 ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India. It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
