Good morning with good news: China's solar Q1 2024 addition is up ~37% compared to Q1 2023! Its wind Q1 2024 addition is up ~50%!

China's Q1 2024 addition:
solar 45.7GW (33.7GW in 2023)

It seems my #climatechange video with the brilliant Jo Brand has been viewed over 3 million times - but we need more communication especially all the positive solutions theguardian.com/environment/20…

The European Parliament's refusal to recognize Putin's presidency is a turning point.

Here’s why it matters 🧵👇

In Spain today (Wed April 24th), 88% of electricity on the electricity grid is coming from emissions-free sources (Wind 27%, Solar 26%, Hydro 14%, Nuclear 16%, etc.), down slightly from 88% yesterday 🤦🏼‍♂️

Sabine Hossenfelder Sabine Hossenfelder made a video claiming gasoline hybrids are the future. They even smell nice!

She has 1.3 million followers so the wretched thing was viewed 230k times in the first 23 hours!

I wrote a blog explaining why she's wrong.
And this 🧵

BREAKING: we just called Joe Manchin a sick fuck. We humiliated him in front of a herd of Harvard elites. He squared up. We held firm. Barbaric murderer, hideous fiend, he torches humanity and laughs.

The wind has dropped a little here in Spain today (Friday April 19th) so only 87% of electricity on the Spanish grid today comes from emissions-free sources (solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, etc.), down from 88% yesterday 😞

Someone told me they bought a plug-in hybrid because they drive to Galveston regularly, from Dallas. And that there aren't any fast chargers in Galveston, so they had to buy a hybrid.
That can't be right, can it? No fast chargers at all? In all of Galveston?

Electricity needed to produce 1 ton of...

Refined aluminum at smelter: 12,000-17,000 kWh
Graphite negative electrode material via graphitization: 14,000 kWh
Solar polysilicon wafers (ingot-pulling + wafer slicing only): ~66,129 kWh

CO2 intensity in solar supply chain matters!
