Crazy how low #electricity prices are on the EU market today (deeply in the negative): this just shows how #renewables can drive down prices. If we keep a bit of nuclear and get the hang of energy storage and transmission, we can have cheap, carbon-free electricity continent-wide. #EUpol

I was asleep at the switch when this came out a few days ago. It is *very* worth reading what @pluralistic@mamot.fr has to say. What Trump is doing is horrendous but some things might *inadvertently* change in a positive way - more quickly - because he's doing them. https://pluralistic.net/2026/04/20/praxis/#acceleration #trump #EnergyTransition #solar #renewables

🔴 ACTION 🔴 Trump vomiting oil in Madrid? ⛽ NO OIL, NO WAR ⛔ We are at a critical crossroads. Greenpeace Spain activists demand an end to the fossil fuel dependency crisis and a fast, fair transition to 100% renewables. #trump #iran #renewables #energy #fossilfuels

"In Guyang-ri, a farming village of 70 households about 90 minutes south-east of Seoul, people gather for communal free lunches six days a week. The meals are funded by the village’s one-megawatt solar installation, which generates roughly 10m won ($6,800) in net profit each month. “Residents eat lunch together every day, so we see each other’s faces, talk together,” says Jeon Joo-young, the village chief. “Bonds and solidarity between residents become much stronger. Life becomes more enjoyable.” The shift has been dramatic. Before the solar project launched in 2022, the village of about 130 people had no restaurant, no easy way to move around, and little communal infrastructure. Now solar revenue pays for meals, a village “happiness bus” for elderly people, a table-tennis facility and cultural activities. The village deliberately chose to spend solar income on welfare rather than individual dividends, a decision Jeon says residents made themselves rather than being persuaded." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/16/south-korea-solar-power-renewables-revolution #SouthKorea #SolarEnergy #Renewables #Solar #SolarPower

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution #solar #renewables #australia #makeoilhistory #auspol #NZPol #NewZealand #iran https://www.newscientist.com/article/2514985-this-states-power-prices-are-plummeting-as-it-nears-100-renewables/?utm_source=nickofnz&utm_medium=nickofnz

"Ontario electricity system to add 14 new solar, wind projects" https://www.cp24.com/politics/queens-park/2026/04/09/ontario-electricity-system-to-add-14-new-solar-wind-projects/ A little surprised it's Ontario doing it, but I'm OK with this. #Ontario #Renewables #Solar #Wind #Energy

Business news, technology, media and finance reports - France 24 | Oil supply shock hardens energy transition resolve – for some by Simon MORITZ The energy crisis over the Iran war has left some countries glad they've added more renewables, while others are doubling down on fossil fuels. But first: oil prices fall on hopes for de-escalation in the Middle East, while suspicions swirl over potential insider trading on Trump administration policies.

Trump's war is accelerating the very transition he resisted, pushing the world faster toward solar and wind. Trump didn’t just start a war, he detonated the illusion that oil equals security. Shut one chokepoint and $100+ oil ripples through the global economy overnight. Our president who rolled back solar credits just put the global economy on the fast lane to solar. #EnergyCrisis #Renewables #Geopolitics #OilShock #iran #israel #Trump

China's renewable energy expansion has reached staggering scale. In 2023 alone, the country added 216 GW of solar capacity — more than the total ever installed in the United States. Wind added another 100 GW. Total renewable capacity now exceeds 1.5 TW. For comparison, the entire US power grid (all sources) stands at approximately 1.2 TW. This is driven by energy security needs, market dominance (China controls 80% of solar supply chains), and economics. Solar prices have fallen 90% in a decade, making it the cheapest energy source in history. The challenge now is transmission. China is building ultra-high-voltage lines and massive battery storage to move power from western deserts to eastern industrial centers. For investors: grid infrastructure, copper, lithium, and rare earth metals are the strategic assets of the coming decade. #China #Renewables #Solar #EnergyTransition #Investing #Grid https://vir.group/

#IranWar #iran #oil #renewableenergy #renewables #trump Congratulations!! Inflation coming!! “Oil prices rose sharply Monday as disruptions to tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz raised uncertainty about how U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran would affect supply to the world economy. U.S. oil traded 7.6% higher at $72.12 per barrel, while international standard Brent was up 8.6% at $79.11 per barrel. Natural gas futures in Europe jumped more than 40% after Qatar, a major supplier, halted production due to the conflict. Higher oil prices raise the prospect of costlier gasoline for U.S. drivers as well as increased prices for other goods at a time when people in many countries have been stung by inflation.” https://apnews.com/article/oil-prices-iran-us-hormuz-tanker-8a6d6fb35c89d9b0db4c4846f290c2c3

@Petesmom@kolektiva.social @Geri@mastodon.online China is stepping up, investing in transmission lines to carry electricity from wind farms AND helping build solar capacity. Need a lot of new installations, both for non-fossil production and storage. But Trump’s weaponization of oil is accelerating transition. #CleanEnergy #renewables #solar #WindPower #cuba https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/feb/18/us-sanctions-power-cuts-climate-crisis-why-cuba-is-betting-on-renewables

In the United Kingdom, greenhouse gas emissions fell 3% in 2024 compared to the year prior as the country got more power from renewables, imported more electricity, and closed its last coal power plant #uk #Britain #climate #ClimateChange #renewables #environment #earth #electricity https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/pollution-government-b2914556.html

Good morning! It's solar install day here at #DisOldHouse. Feels pretty silly to be putting solar up top when the interior renovation isn't done and we still don't have a kitchen. We're not even sure if we'll stay here long term. AND we're two months late for amazing tax credits. Terrible timing all around, but it's an act of resistance, and it feels amazing. #Solar #Resist #Renewables

#windpower #renewables Mind blowing that one new wind turbine can produce so much power compared to the old ones. @adapalmer@wandering.shop https://wandering.shop/@adapalmer/115996683272733529

Bravo @TechConnectify@mas.to for a video that possibly is better than his dishwasher series. Thank you for speaking truth to power. As my own province faces US interference in a psy op of separatism, this Canadian born in Alberta stands with you. #canpoli #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli #ClimateChange #renewables #uspol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9nt2ZeGM
