New: EVs set to capture an impressive 28% of global car sales in 2026 says IEA. Petrol cars will, very soon, be for museums only Wild how off the mark the IEA has been: In 2019, they thought we'd barely hit a 5% share by now Source: www.iea.org/reports/glob...

The data is in. Between 2023-2025, wind and solar slashed EU wholesale power prices by 24.2% on average. In Spain, the cut was nearly 40% This isn't a forecast, it already happened Renewables are the only cure for gas price insanity

EV share of new car sales in Singapore: 2021: 3.8% 2022: 11.7% 2023: 18.1% 2024: 34% 2025: 45% 2026 (1st 3 months): 60% Game over: 150 years of petrol dominance wiped out in 6 years

No "net zero" fluff: Giant Australian mining group proving Real Zero is better for planet and profits >24-hour renewables by 2027 >100% fossil-fuel-free mining by 2030 >1.2GW solar + 600MW wind + 5GWh BESS >Electrified rail & 800+ haul trucks >$100m saved/ year reneweconomy.com.au/fortescue-fa...

900 battery-powered ships and counting: It isn't a test case anymore, it’s a declaration of independence from being fossil fuel hostages: With battery costs down 99% since 1991, the "too expensive" excuse is officially dead for shipping Sovereignty is renewables www.ft.com/content/0656...

Data says storage prices drops by 19% every time production doubles. You can’t out-compete math this aggressive. This "learning rate" is a one-way street to total electrification: As battery costs crater, EVs become cheapest, and solar/wind becomes reliable 24/7 This feedback loop can't be stopped

A 93% spike isn’t a ‘trend’ - it’s a stick-up. Gas is a ransom. Carbon is a conflict mineral. Fossil fuels are war. Renewables are the only real declaration of independence. Stop being vassal states. Move decisively to cut the cord.

A 50% price spike isn’t a 'market trend' - it’s a mugging. Gas and oil imports are a ransom. 100% Renewables are the only true declaration of independence. Stop paying the extortionists. Cut the cord.

The clean energy transformation isn't just a climate goal; it’s a powerful economic engine. Exhibit 1: Clean energy - mostly EVs, batteries, and solar - fueled 1/3 of China’s 2025 GDP growth. Without it, growth would have slumped to just 3.5% www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cle...

To understand how serious China is about decarbonization and energy independence, check out its aluminum industry: China literally moved 30% of its aluminum production from its coal-rich North to renewables-rich areas. And it's just getting started www.ft.com/content/1e6e...

Don’t mess with Texas ... solar, or market economics! In February 2026, Texas took the crown as the #1 state for utility-scale solar: Solar went from 2% in 2020 to out-generating coal They said it couldn't be done in the land of oil and gas. They were (of course) wrong THREAD

As big batteries take over Australia’s evening peaks, coal and gas are being relegated to increasingly rare, expensive cameo roles. The future grid - everywhere - doesn’t need them and won’t have them reneweconomy.com.au/big-batterie...

Since 2021, China has added more power capacity than the US has built in its ENTIRE HISTORY. Read that again while we waste time debating "gas as a bridge" or waiting 20 years for 1 nuclear plant >China just dropped 543GW in just ONE year >China is building 6x more capacity than US over next 6 years

The move to electric cars, isn't just happening, it's accelerating: In December, EVs in Europe exploded 57% YoY to a massive 28% market share Meanwhile, Petrol (down 18%) is cratering and Diesel (down 23%) is in a total death spiral cleantechnica.com/2026/02/02/e...

Historic: Renewables delivered 51% of electricity in Australia's National Energy Market System for 1st time ever, up from 46% in the previous 3 months So many said it can't be done, or it's impossible to be done, or renewables are unreliable, and so on www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Poland is crushing it with 160% growth in EV sales, and Türkiye just zoomed past Norway to become Europe’s #4 EV powerhouse! Diesel is also dying a deserved death -sales in Türkiye alone halved in 2 years The "EV slowdown" is a myth peddled by fossil fuel dinosaurs ember-energy.org/latest-insig...
