This is the most inspirational clean energy messaging I've heard in years @chrisnelder.bsky.social People, we have work to do! www.transitiontimes.net/nn-9-organiz...

NN#9: Organizing for Power

In NN#9, we welcome Steve McBee, founder of AMPED, “the political and cultural infrastructure the clean energy industry never built.” We discuss how the clean energy industry needs to organize to do battle with the fossil fuel industry and win on every level—from popular opinion to federal policy.

REMINDER: Trump has overseen a larger fall in coal-fired power than any other US president (ie, other things equal, the EPA repealing power-plant CO2 rules means more coal power,…but other things are not equal, because most coal plants are old and expensive) www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-tru...

Some good tight messaging right here

I've heard thousands of climate denial arguments over the last few decades. But do you know they all fall into one of 5 categories? 1. It's not real 2. It's not us 3. It's not bad 4. We can't fix it 5. You can't trust the info/experts Source: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In @transitiontimes.bsky.social TT#12, we review media coverage of the ongoing wildfires, heatwaves, floods, and other disasters, and ask why it isn’t consistently linked with what’s causing them: climate change. We also review research on how to do better. www.transitiontimes.net/tt-12-a-fail...

The Telegraph is running a sensible article today (feels newsworthy in itself!) Written by it's "world economics editor" Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, it includes this gem of a chart. A picture is worth a thousand words

What a weird word of use - ‘failed’. I failed to crash my car last week. I failed to miss my train yesterday. Etc. etc.

++WOW++ Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph: "Badenoch has chosen an abominable political moment to flirt with climate nihilism…The political Right needs to rediscover its philosophical compass…you have to conclude that the Tories have gone Trumpian on the existential issue of our time"

STOP calling it: • "Save the planet" START calling it: • "Save our homes" • "Save our food" • "Save our children" Because that's what it is. #ClimateCrisis

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

MILESTONE | Global solar installations surpassed 3,000 GW in April 2026 ☀️🚨 It took more than two decades for global solar capacity to go from 1 GW to reach the first terawatt (1,000 GW). Then about three years for the second terawatt and less than two years for the third 📈

BBC News: "A Reform UK councillor's bid to scrap his authority's climate emergency declaration has been delayed because the chamber was too hot to debate it." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Simon Ring says the fact the meeting was postponed due to the heat was "undeniably ironic".

All the people who are saying it's too expensive to tackle climate change today are the same people who twenty years ago said that climate change wasn't really happening

While Tony Blair is trashing UK govt energy policy, NESTA analysis finds "early signs [it] may be working" 2022: Gas prices went up 100%, electricity 83% (roughly 1:1) 2026: Gas +28%, elec 6% (5:1 = "electricity beginning to decouple from gas") www.nesta.org.uk/blo...

It can’t set much clearer than this - these 2 YouTube videos promoted right next to each other. Charging rate of 1000kW is bonkers - adding 400 miles of range in 6 minutes.

Every now and again, it's worth popping quickly onto the Telegraph's website to remind yourself just how hysterically and ludicrously obsessed they are with Ed Miliband and net-zero. Just from the past few days...

It’s weird how the continued closure of the strait isn’t news in the uk any more even though the impact is predicted to be about to spread massively. Pretty damning how news is focused on the novel rather than the important.

Another for instance! Down in Queensland, Australia, fossil gas used to provide all the peak power. Then batteries start nibbling at it. Then chomping on it. And now they've basically eaten it all up. No more gas. Look at this graphic! Glorious. reneweconomy.com.au/big-batterie...

It remains unclear at this stage whether the government will meet its clean power by 2030 target and whether it will deliver promised reductions in bills, but they are giving it a right good go. www.businessgreen.com/news/4529760...

So the next time you interview a grid operator complaining about renewables and electric cars, ask him: "What incentive structure do you have in place to reward electric vehicle owners for avoiding grid congestion on the moments and locations grid congestion actually occurs?"
