Indeed cool to have more countries and the interactivity, but the original with longer historic time series (more than 100 years, 1900-2023) for India, China and the US is also absolutely brilliant, and makes it even clearer how countries do not follow old trajectories

NEW | India is forging a different #energytransition path to China 🇮🇳⚡
Where China built first on coal and gas, India is taking a shortcut — using cheap solar to meet rising demand, relying far less on fossil fuels, and electrifying transport earlier.

Great ternary plot, great idea to put the 100% fossil on bottom!

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

Absolutely not, Arvind, good choice! But spending more on oil than in the alternative case on electricity really seems a weird choice for you. This calculator comes to break-even for BEV compact SUV in Texas after less than 5 years... And you absolutely do road trips without superchargers now...
Electric vs. Gas Car Calculator: Which Is the Better Deal?
There’s no more federal subsidy. But our calculator lets you see if an E.V. might still be cheaper in the long-run.

Oh wow, I had no idea how big these claws are. Have seen a bald eagle in the wild before, but never paid attention to their claws. And crazy story about the fish, seems this could be an unpleasant timely parable here...

What is the eagle holding in their left claw, do you know? (Great thread!)
