The primary energy fallacy: Critics of the energy transition often point to primary energy to demonstrate that the transition is going to be impossible. But most consumed primary energy is lost after conversion. The problem to solve is a lot smaller than primary energy…

The European Union just came out with an official report: REAL-WORLD emissions versus the new WLTP cycle. The results are *UNBELIEVABLE!!* PHEVs emit on average THREE AND A HALF TIMES MORE than the official test claims! climate-energy.eea.europa.eu/topics/transpo…
One of the main reasons renewable energy is going to triumph in the end is, IMO, not well understood by the general populace, so here's a quick 🧵on it. Over time, the price of fossil fuels is determined by two forces pulling in opposite directions. On one hand ...
When I arrived at Fenghuang (Via HSR of course) I was confronted with an ad that blew my mind. Fenghuang, a pretty obscure Chinese town, has a Maglev that connects it's center with its HSR station. So being the railway connoisseur I am, I had to take it. A🧵of my experience.
Houston is broke, but so are some of the richest cities in Silicon Valley. What do they have in common? Not politics. Not governance. It's the development pattern. The way they build their places has made them insolvent. 1/
OVERsupply for lithium batteries is looming! It will bring battery prices down, helping the transition to EVs and clean energy, but create headaches for the lithium industry Let me give some perspective, showing the long term trend is clear and e.g. @Toyota should be ashamed 🧵

A single factory will produce enough solar panels to meet peak electricity demand in Texas ... EVERY 18 MONTHS We cannot afford to put our hands over our eyes and pretend solar doesn't work. We need to be manufacturing and installing solar at scale - yesterday. Earth's solar…

I went to an adorable bar in Tokyo last night. Room for about 15. The owner is also a tailor who hand makes 60s style clothing in his atelier upstairs. Said a license to run it was 20,000¥ - only $120! What if SF let people run little shops this easily? Why does it cost $100k+?
MEGA FACTCHECK Heat pumps are the “central technology in the global transition to secure and sustainable heating” says @IEA. But heat pumps still face relentless hostile media coverage. I comprehensively debunked 18 heat pump myths in @CarbonBrief👇 carbonbrief.org/factcheck-18-m…
Good morning with good news: US coal generation is falling like a stone. Its yearly share fell from 20% in 2022 to 17% in 2023. It may fall to 15% this year and 14% in 2025. Coal's February share: 2015 38% 2017 30% 2019 25% 2021 27% 2023 15% 2024 14% ember-climate.org
We’ve environmentally cleared 422 of the project’s 494 miles! By this summer, the Palmdale to Burbank section’s environmental document will be considered by our Board. If approved, we will have completely cleared the 463 miles from downtown SF to LA Union Station. #FactFriday
We're rolling out an interactive crash map that plots all vehicle crashes resulting in serious injury or death from January 2023 onwards. It gives info on severity (injured/killed), mode use (driver, pedestrian, etc), with links to the news story. (1/3) visionzerovancouver.ca/resources/
Good to see more mainstream attention going to the "mid-transition" -- the weird & volatile dynamics that will ensue when oil & gas demand starts falling. economist.com/leaders/2024/0…
Energy transition critics often point to primary energy use to demonstrate that it's going to be impossible. But 72% of the global energy input is currently lost after conversion. The problem we're trying to solve here is a lot smaller than primary energy use might suggest.🧵
In other words, we should be focusing all our efforts on making solar/DAC etc so cheap and efficient that it is comfortably cheaper than all fossil fuel options. On that front, we're getting there, but, when you take into account intermittency costs/storage, we're not there yet.
Good morning with good news: Greece joins 50% Renewables Club in 2023! Wind (22%) & solar (19%) combined for 41%! Progress continued in January 2024, when RE combined for 54% with wind (34%), solar (12%) & hydro (8%). Nice! Fossil fuels fell from 83% in 2011 to 49.8% in 2023.
Good morning with good news: An incredible 574GW of solar will be built globally during 2024 says BNEF & @solar_chase. That is 130% more than was built in 2022, which was a big record year itself! In 2030, a huge 880GW is forecasted. Below is the MEDIUM forecast scenario. WOW!
An Italian mountain village? A Greek island? Nope! It's America's first car-free village, and I got to stay in it. A 🧵on what it's like. TLDR; remove the parking mandate, enable livable cities.
New report: recycling plastic is not economically or technically viable at scale, and Big Oil has known this for decades, but it has nonetheless led an enormous propaganda campaign to convince the US public otherwise. climateintegrity.org/plastics-fraud

The long term trend is clear: solar and wind will be the backbone of the new energy systems and cars will swap combustion engines for electric ones. CCS, nuclear, hydro, biofuels, etc. can play a valuable part, but it is optional and limited. x.com/aukehoekstra/s…
FINALLY! Our paper on 100%RE is out! It traces the history and fast growth of the scientific field that models 100% renewable energy: no fossil or nuclear needed. Hundreds of peer reviewed studies now claim 100%RE is possible worldwide against low cost! helsinkitimes.fi/themes/themes/…
OVERsupply for lithium batteries is looming! It will bring battery prices down, helping the transition to EVs and clean energy, but create headaches for the lithium industry Let me give some perspective, showing the long term trend is clear and e.g. @Toyota should be ashamed 🧵
BNEF is tracking a combined 7.9 TWh of lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity announced for the end of 2025. BNEF's expected demand in 2025: 1.6 TWh across all segments.

EVs have a battery that is much heavier than a gasoline tank. They also have an electric drivetrain that's much lighter than the drivetrain of a combustion engine. And batteries are getting about 2x lighter per kWh (=energy content) per decade. See where this is heading?
