#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030
Ni las cifras ni las imágenes engañan sobre lo que han hecho.
Hiroshima, mon amour. Gaza, notre honte.
China is building the largest energy transition in history. When you look at this 25-year timeline, the trend is unmistakable. This isn’t a transition at the margins, it’s a system being rewritten at scale. This is actual generation, not capacity. Fossil has fallen from ~78% in 2000 to 59% today.
EIA forecasts US solar, wind and battery storage to grow by over 80 GW in year ahead "Meanwhile, EIA projects no new generating capacity by nuclear power and a net decline of 4,903.2 MW in fossil fuel capacity." renewablesnow.com/news/eia-for...

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution
In a depressing era where our European leaders have shown themselves to be listless, unimaginative & cowardly, Pedro Sanchez stands apart. The Spanish prime minister has become the lone voice of moral clarity in 🇪🇺Council. Are the others ready to listen?
After clashing with Trump and Israel, Sánchez casts Spain as moral model for EU
The Spanish prime minister said Europe has an obligation to fill the gap as the U.S. steps back from international cooperation, in remarks at POLITICO’s European Pulse Forum.

Nothing the Israelis hate more than a ceasefire. Which is why they never, in fact, cease fire
Anger and outrage in Israel after the two week ceasefire agreement reached between Iran and the United States. Israeli analyst Avi Ashkenazi described the outcome of Operation Lion’s Roar as a shift “from the lion’s roar to a cat’s meow,” reflecting growing frustration over the results.
Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic
“The policy of subordination has failed: it has weakened Europe, discredited its leaders and deepened internal divisions,” writes Christian Spillmann. The problem is our ostrich leadership in Brussels (VDL & Rutte) don’t seem to have any other ideas. europemorningpost.substack.com/p/the-end-of...
Q: Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva Conventio-- TRUMP: Who are you with? Q: NYT T: Failing. The failing NYT. Your circulation is way down Q: Are you concerned your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes? T: No. I hope I don't have to do it.
🧵 Democracy feels like it's in a rough state at the moment across the globe, and we hear various explanations, like polarisation, extremism, disinformation, and loss of trust. But what if those explanations are mainly symptoms and we've been trying to treat them rather than the underlying causes?
Dado el patrón de actuación de Trump en el que finge negociaciar para tener cobertura mediática y realiza luego la ofensiva en fin de semana me inclino a pensar que este finde pasará algo. Hay convergencia de activos y se abre la ventana para operar en el estrecho. open.substack.com/pub/victorbc...
La Trampa de la Isla de Kharg: el siguiente peldaño en la escalada
Tomar una o varias islas iraníes en el Golfo Pérsico no cerrará el conflicto sino que lo anclará. Significará el punto de inflexión que escalará la misión "quirúrgica" al laberinto de la invasión.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law. But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Me da la impresión que alguien le susurró al oído a Trump que esto de Irán iba a ser rápido, muerto el ayatolá el régimen caería como un castillo de naipes. Pero no tienen ni idea de nada. Y, como Putin en Ucrania, se ha metido en un barrizal del que no le va a ser fácil salir y salvar la cara.

Curtailment is the driver. As solar penetration rises, unpaired projects get clipped first. Within 2 years, storage pairing becomes standard in high-penetration grids. No developer wants to spill electrons at zero or negative prices. Storage captures the margin. #Bettrification #Solar #BESS #LFP
With 30 GWh paired to 1.4 GW wind + 200 MW solar in a single project (the US added 56 GWh total in 2025), this 100-hour battery rewrites infrastructure & grid math. Wind + solar can push toward 100% supply — covering multi-day lulls, not just peak hours. Operations start in 2028. #Bettrification

TACO dynamics are becoming increasingly dangerous.
The TACO cycle: Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank. So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.
Let's see whose joining the obviously corrupt "Board of Peace" today:
I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump). www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...
The UK is not currently planning to join Trump’s “Board of Peace”, Bloomberg reports. Starmer is concerned by Trump’s decision to invite Putin and Lukashenko. His spokesperson says the UK commitment to the UN is “unwavering”. The Board of Peace is on its way to being the Board of Dictators.
What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.
"Primera respuesta a las amenazas estadounidenses de extorsionar a Europa mediante aranceles para quedarse Groenlandia. La "respuesta firme" es del presidente del Consejo, Costa, que se ha mostrado más rotundo que Von der Leyen. Como es habitual tras una amenaza de Trump, VDL está desaparecida".
First 🇪🇺response to new American threats to take Greenland through tariff extortion. The "firm response" comment comes from Council chair Costa, who has been stronger than 🇪🇺President von der Leyen on Trump. As usual after a new Trump threat, VDL is MIA.
A major escalation in the 🇺🇸🇪🇺 conflict. The 🇪🇺Parliament has no choice now but to kill the surrender deal that 🇪🇺President von der Leyen struck with Trump in July. The lesson is clear: this man cannot be appeased. How will Europe's leaders respond?
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.
