“We’ve got too many passengers!” SNCF and Hauts de France: let’s limit how many can take the train - by imposing compulsory reservation on regional trains! FFS! 🤬 This kills any flexibility. Boost your capacity! Behave like a sensible railway! www.ville-rail-transports.com/ferroviaire/...

This helps explain the reality of the much-hyped gas build out. "...Texas’ grid operator to tally 108 proposed new gas plants and 17 expansions. That includes four projects currently under construction, 33 that have received permits but haven’t broken ground and 98 that are proposed."

Yesterday I published a bit on how the US LNG bubble is ending. I mentioned the Mexico Pacific project specifically as it was going to be supplied by Permian gas. @ieefa-northamerica.bsky.social just published a new piece on the project including an image of their corporate address. 😀

We are completely and utterly unprepared for what is happening right now at ~1.5ºC of heating. Never mind what is coming, as we race headlong to crossing 2ºC. (To stand a remote chance of staying below 2ºC global emissions must fall by 5.5% in 2025 and EVERY year thereafter until 2030)

A Gudiña-Porta de Galicia has the distinction of a station where you can watch storks peck around the neighbouring meadows while your high-speed train stops. (It also has the distinction of being a single-platform high speed station, but that one’s for the geeks.)

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

How much can the 2-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly go down in the future from a past high point? The record drop is 0.273°C, from a past high GMST anomaly of 0.724°C (Nov. 21, 1991) to a future low GMST anomaly of 0.451°C (Mar. 26, 1994).

Everywhere I went this year, from international, national expert committees to local adminstrative reps, students, workers EVERYONE agreed on the transformation in construction. It's frightening how much CONSENSUS there is now behind closed doors and how little politicians are responding to it.

Why do politicians always underestimate public support for climate action? Is it state capture by fossil fuel companies? Something less insidious?

EU industry could cut energy use by 24%—saving 67 MTOE—by 2030, all cost-effectively. The potential is huge and the business case is clear. Decarbonisation and energy security aren’t just possible—they’re smart moves for competitiveness. Next step: turning this potential into real-world action.

Thing that’s most bizarre about this brand new €100k Kiddie Krusher isn’t just its enormous size, it’s that its annual road tax is just…€140. Ridiculous.

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Energy efficiency is the unsung hero of Europe’s industrial competitiveness. Without efficiency gains since 2000, industry would use 1/3 more energy—costing tens of billions more every year. It’s not just energy prices that matter, but how smartly we use energy.
