I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

China is building for the future with advanced tech like EVs, AI, alternative energy, all industries we created, the USA is clinging to the dying fossil fuel technology of last century. While the US is pissing off our friends and allies, China is forging new relationships with all those we abandon.
"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies.
Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.
