Can't wait to see the BSPP grow to become a leading policy school worldwide

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment

In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Just emerging from the WEF summer Davos. Three days of pure interactions between leaders in tech, policy, and academia from all over the world.

In spite of all the challenges, there was still optimism (mostly driven by the potential of AI). Reasonable? I’m not so convinced

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.

Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep

Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

Chinese investment patterns in Europe have changed dramatically over past ten years
• Inflows of Chinese FDI have dropped five-fold compared to 2016 peak, which was fuelled by M&A operations
• Chinese investors now focus on greenfield investments, in particular for EVs in bid to dodge EU tariffs
