Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Much of this progress came from the Global South.

China added more solar and wind capacity than the rest of the world combined.

India and several African nations also saw record solar growth that helped reduce coal and gas use.

GOOD NEWS 🎉: For the first time in history, renewables have overtaken coal as the world’s biggest source of electricity.

Solar and wind met 100% of new global electricity demand in the first half of 2025 and even helped cut coal and gas use.

While the Tory party's energy & climate policy grows increasingly detached from reality, worth reflecting on a remarkable, under-reported event at Labour conference: the launch of Climate Jobs UK, a campaign by GMB, Prospect & other TUs focused on the creation of good jobs in the energy transition

Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act

Tory leader says she would replace it with ‘cheap energy’ strategy, ending decades-long consensus on climate

This isn’t leadership. It’s reckless. Scrapping the Climate Change Act won’t cut bills. It won’t grow the economy. It will only make the crisis worse and lock us into a dead-end future.

So who wins here? Not families. Not workers. Just oil firms, Farage’s anti-science grift, and Trump-style climate denial. All while clean energy jobs, investment, and real security are left behind.

Let’s be clear. Fossil fuel dependence cost the UK £140bn after Putin invaded Ukraine. The Tories spent £40bn of public money just to stop bills exploding. Clean energy could have protected us. Badenoch wants to kill it.

The North Sea is now like a piñata at the end of a kids’ party. You can hit it all you want, but nothing’s coming out.

New drilling won’t lower bills. Won’t boost supply. Just more profits for oil companies while the rest of us pay the price.

Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 6d

After 60 years of drilling, the North Sea can’t give us cheap energy. The gas is mostly gone. Oil gets sold overseas. Prices stay high.

This isn’t a plan. This is vapid, political game playing at the expense of bill payers and the UK’s energy workers

BREAKING 🚨: Kemi Badenoch says she’ll repeal the UK’s Climate Change Act if the Tories win.

That means scrapping carbon targets, shutting down the climate watchdog, and locking Britain into fossil fuels right as the world heats up and bills soar.

Nick Robinson on Today this AM was completely wrong to suggest that pumping more oil & gas from the North Sea would lower bills, something even former Tory Energy Secretaries have accepted.

We’ve burned most of the gas and export the vast majority of the oil—and oil is basically what’s left…

World’s major cities hit by 25% leap in extremely hot days since the 1990s

Capitals from London to Tokyo need urgent action to protect people from deadly high temperatures, analysts say

Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 8d

New oil will only worsen extreme weather, and delay the action we urgently need.

Yet the UK government is still considering Rosebank, the country’s largest undeveloped oil field. Add your voice to stop it: www.stopcambo.org.uk/act

The biggest oil field deserves the biggest fight. Together we can #StopRosebank.

Climate stress in cities brings more than heat. It means flooding, drought, rising energy bills and pressure on healthcare and infrastructure.

The poorest communities are hit first and hardest. Most cities are not prepared.

Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 8d

Extreme heat is already causing illness, lost income and early deaths. The most affected are older adults, outdoor workers and people in poor-quality housing with no cooling or green space.

This is not just uncomfortable. It is dangerous.

London is heating up fast. The number of 30°C days has doubled since the 1990s.

Cities like Madrid, Rome and Beijing now have twice as many 35°C+ days. Manila has three times as many. Urban heat is not coming. It is already here.

BREAKING 🚨: The world’s biggest cities are now facing 25% more extremely hot days each year compared to the 1990s.

This is not only about rising temperatures. It is about cities becoming increasingly unsafe for millions of people.

As the @globalsumudflotilla approaches Gaza, the risks of attacks and escalation grow. 500 people from 45 countries, including UK citizens, sailing to deliver urgently needed aid. The UK government must step up: protect its citizens, impose an arms embargo, and guarantee the flotilla safe passage.

By taking a clear position against new licensing, the UK government has no choice but to finally make a plan for the future of the North Sea and the UK's energy security - one that workers have long called for.

Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 15d

This isn’t a choice between more North Sea drilling or imports — that ship has sailed. It’s between more imports or ramping up renewables.

But as long as the spectre of more drilling hovers, governments will continue to delay.

While we remain distracted by ever diminishing amounts of oil and gas, we are missing huge opportunities.

Opportunities to create good, clean energy jobs in the UK, in domestic wind manufacturing in particular, that will last us long into the future.

Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 15d

The overwhelming message from workers is clear: they want more from the government to help them through the energy transition.

We need a proper plan, not more self-interested lobbying from industry bosses.
