Renewable energy and EVs have grown so much faster than experts predicted 10 years ago
A decade after the Paris agreement, climate action is moving quicker than you might think.

Hey, @energyvsclimate.bsky.social here’s a hot take on your hot take on the Grand Bargain!
It’s the Grid! It’s time zones and demand shifting. It’s lower emissions. It needs a proponent.
