Really interesting new report from the good people at @ember-energy.org, showing solar's continued growth in the US. But imo - this is good news that has been eaten by bad news.

Power and economy-wide emissions grew in 2025, partly driven by data centre growth...

Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.

Jonas Birgersson joins me to explain how "packet-switching" for electrons can lead to energy abundance and grid resilience.

Last gap??? Why should ecocide not be considered a significant gap? With some leaders actively working against climate protection, I could think of possible prosecutions creating damage on a planetary scale right now.

Just 1 ship packed with solar panels delivers the means to produce as much electricity as 57 LNG tankers or 120 coal ships

A world with little fossil fuels has an enormously lighter footprint - starting with zero need for 40% of global shipping

Hegemony is when the dominant state is liked and supported by followers. Empire is when the dominant state acts transactionally, with impunity. There is an important difference and we have elided that difference to our detriment.

if you want to understand the misinformation about Net Zero estimates this is a great starting point
drsimevans.carbonbrief.org Simon Evans @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org · 4d
🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero

1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

Det finns få saker jag månar så mycket om som barns rättigheter. När jag började skriva om förslaget till sänkt straffbarhetsålder visste jag att många vara kritiska. Men att i princip alla remissinstanser ställer sig frågande till vad regeringen grundar sina beslut på är spektakulärt.

New World Economic Forum Global Risks data provides a stark warning: While short-term crises dominate headlines, "Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse" jumps to the 2nd highest risk over the 10-year horizon.

The long term is sooner than we think. Science-based policies via IPBES are crucial.🌍
This infographic from the World Economic Forum shows global risks ranked by severity over two time periods: 2-year (short term) and 10-year (long term). The title reads "Global risks ranked by severity" with the WEF logo in the top right corner. The chart is divided into two columns, with risks color-coded into four categories: Environmental (green), Geopolitical (orange), Societal (red), and Technological (purple). In the short term (2 years), the top risks are: Geoeconomic confrontation Misinformation and disinformation Societal polarization Extreme weather events State-based armed conflict In the long term (10 years), the ranking shows: Extreme weather events Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse Critical change to Earth systems Misinformation and disinformation Adverse outcomes of AI technologies Both columns continue to rank risks through position 10, with environmental concerns featuring more prominently in the long-term outlook. The source is cited as "World Economic Forum Global Risks Perception Survey 2025-2026."
