How much electricity in G20 countries still comes from fossil fuels? Huge differences between countries. And yes, not all “clean energy” on this chart is truly clean but otherwise it’s a good chart.

Wow! Wind energy provided more than 80% of Ireland's electricity yesterday. Ireland has a target to provide 80% of electricity from renewables - wind and solar - across a whole year, by 2030, by growing solar PV, offshore wind, storage and electricity interconnection.

News Corp caught spreading lies about EV demand—this isn’t bias, it’s outright sabotage. Fossil fuel & legacy auto puppeteers using media to protect profits at the expense of climate action. Falsehoods delay solutions & betray the public. Climate change is real. EV demand is soaring! #MediaLies #EVs

PHEVs sound great on paper—flexibility, green credentials—but in practice, they fall short. Without daily charging, they’re just heavy, inefficient vehicles. As BEVs thrive with scaling infrastructure, the hybrid era fades. Automakers stuck on PHEVs risk falling behind. ⚡️🚗 #EVs #FutureTech #BEV

From 500k BEVs in 2014 to 50M in 2024, that’s a staggering 100x growth in a decade! 🚀⚡ In case anyone still doubts it, the electric revolution is here, driven by innovation, affordability, & the shift to sustainability. No matter how hard legacy tries, they can't stop the tide of change. 🔋 #EVs #BEV
