All the signs point in the same direction: Brussels is about to delay five years to 2040 its full ban on gasoline and diesel cars. New loopholes are being negotiated to keep plug-in hybrids and other cars with internal combustion engine-based extenders on the road beyond 2035.

Every time the quantity of batteries in the world doubles, prices fall 18%. This experience curve is one of the most consistent, and consequential, guideposts for predicting the future of energy and transportation.

China has 1400+ GW of coal-fired power plants that operate at an average annual capacity factor of just ~48%. A lot of people don't know this, because it's just weird. Once you've built an asset, you use it as much as possible, right? Not in China... If China ran all of its

Why is China building so much solar? For one, coal is simply not enough.

I think this is my favourite video of it. Every Scot watching that experienced exactly the same anxiety and then the same joy. It felt for a while like communal events were sort of done but this was definitely one!
