China built 93 GW of solar in May, bringing its 2025 total to 198GW. That’s more than 1.3GW per day, every day. With enough BESS, that’s also more than Canada or France’s entire installed power capacity from everything - and their electricity generation.

Oil, gas and coal.
What's something stupidly expensive that people keep buying even though it's never worth the price.

EVs take over slowly, then suddenly. In May:.>Europe EVs up 34% YoY, to 28% share.>Global EVs up 22%, to 25% share.>China EVs soar to 53%.>Singapore EVs at 40%.>Even Australia is at 12% share. The electrification transformation is exponential, not linear.

Poland (yes, Poland, with 60% less sunny days than countries closer to the Equator) generated more electricity from renewables than from coal for the 1st time ever in June. Every country can do it, and will do it .

Some amazing statistics in the NYTimes.1 China installed more robots each year from 2021 through 2023 than the rest of the world combined, and 7 times as many as the US.2 China has 700,000 clean energy patents, more than half of the world's total .3 More wind turbines and solar

I wanted to experiment with AI. So I just launched the Angry Clean Energy Guy podcast on YouTube, 100% powered by AI apps, with the help of my talented co-producer Yash Sinha. The first 10 episodes are up, 82 episodes to go. Enjoy, criticise, subscribe and comment!.

Heat domes tripled in strength and duration since 1950s - as June temperatures reach dangerous highs in the US and Europe, while persistent low pressure systems saw China, Pakistan and India hit by floods. "Typical” summer weather is a thing of the past.

China is ditching oil because it is an existential national security issue: It is vulnerable to oil embargos, direct or indirect, because oil embargo = it could collapse. China therefore will continue to deploy insane record-amounts of solar, wind and storage, year after year.

"This idea of a persistent #climate imprint on real estate marks a shift in thinking about the relatively new concept of climate-fuelled financial instability. This is the story that may matter most, if only because it is so hard to see how it finishes".
