It took only 8 years for solar to go from 100 to 1,000 TWh... then it took only 3 years to go from 1,000 to 2,000 TWh. Solar is growing faster than any source of electricity in history ☀️

NEW | Clean power record in Germany 🇩🇪⚡️ In May, wind and solar produced more than half of Germany's power for the first time, accounting for 56.5%! This surpasses the the previous record of 49.3% set in July 2023. From the latest @ember-energy.org data

Even clearer on monthly. Wind & solar smokes nuclear in US power gen (21.7% vs 17.4%)—& rooftop solar isn’t even invited to the chart. Meanwhile, fossils & nukes are busy napping. The S-curve doesn’t wait. Money’s moving. Make the trend your friend—or keep hugging your coal plant. #EnergyTransition

As EV batteries scale, costs drop—driving even more adoption. Clean power + transport electrification show how the energy transition is all about interconnected systems and reinforcing feedbacks, not isolated changes. Read our new @carbonbrief.org piece: www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-h...

The end of the internal combustion engine? Global sales of petrol and diesel cars peaked in 2017/18 and are now falling. The shift to electric and low-carbon transport is well underway—and EV sales are rising fast.

No energy source in 10,000 years of human history has scaled like solar. From 100 to 2,000 TWh in just 11 years—faster than coal, oil, nuclear, or wind. This isn’t just exponential growth—it’s a civilizational phase shift. The fastest, cleanest energy transition ever. ⚡☀️ #Solar #EnergyTransformation

Pakistan’s solar and wind boom just got a boost—cheap Chinese batteries are making clean power reliable day and night. Factories like Lucky Cement are ditching fossil fuels, cutting emissions, and keeping the power flowing. When tech gets affordable, the energy transition speeds up.

PHEV sales are collapsing in key markets in 2025: down to just 51 units in Norway (April), shrinking fast in Denmark, and losing ground to BEVs in China. Consumers are ditching complexity for simplicity. BEVs are cheaper, cleaner, and just better. KISS. ⚡🔋 #EVs #PHEV #Disruption #KISS #BEV

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

BYD’s rollout of 15,000 megawatt-level chargers across China is a game-changer. At up to 1,000 kW each, they dwarf Tesla’s ~12,000 stalls in China. This isn’t just fast charging—it’s ultra-fast, reshaping EV norms. BYD’s not just building cars, it’s building the future. ⚡🇨🇳 #EV #BYD

Norway offers a snapshot of the near future. EVs now make up nearly 97.4% of new car sales—on track to hit 100% by the end of 2025. Less than a decade from now, the rest of the world will follow. What feels radical today will soon be boringly obvious.⚡🇳🇴 #EVFuture #Norway #RipOIL #RipICE #EVs

With 1 million km LFP batteries now common, it’s no surprise to those of us following the disruption that EV batteries outlast the cars themselves. Still, great to see it validated—with second-life uses like energy storage now taking off, the circular economy of clean tech is no longer theory. #EVs🔋

Australia just hit its energy inflection point—$2.4B in big batteries and the strongest solar & wind investment since 2018. Market forces are aligned, momentum is real, S-Curve is the driver. From here, the shift to renewables isn’t theory—it’s trajectory. The future starts now. ⚡🔋 #EnergyTransition

Next time someone says “What about China and coal?” show them this: 45 GW of solar added in April 2025 alone—1.5 GW per day. Over 100 GW already this year, on track to smash 300 GW. This isn’t incremental—it’s exponential. China isn’t clinging to coal. It’s sprinting to the sun. ☀️📈 #EnergyTransition

Social leasing is long overdue—but finally gaining traction. France showed it works: €100/month EVs for low-income households. Now the EU has €16B in climate funds to roll it out across Germany, Spain, Italy & more. This could get 3M families into EVs by 2032. Let’s make it happen. ⚡🇪🇺
