Over a million views in 11 hours. Guess the bad guys trying to silence this Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social really didn’t work, huh? Such a shame… #StreisandEffect @colbertlateshow.bsky.social youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Africa leads growth in solar energy as demand spreads beyond traditional markets, report says A report shows that Africa has emerged as the world's fastest-growing solar market even as global growth slowed last year, driven by a 60% surge in imports of solar panels from China.

Solar exploded across Africa in 2025:

California's main grid has produced more electricity from solar (110 GWh/d) than fossil gas (106 GWh/d) during the first 45 days of 2025

And it's WINTER

Gas is down 39% vs '25 & 55% vs '23

WWS has met >100% of demand for parts of 25 out of 45 days in '25 (vs 17/45 days in '24)

The deportation industrial complex is very profitable, which is why the fight to ABOLISH ICE is going to require sustained effort.

We are now over a month since the deadline has passed to release the Epstein files, and considering what has happened in that month...

Whatever was in those files must be REALLY bad.

What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution Close to two-thirds of the city’s residents commute by bike to school or work every day.

β€œWhen mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

Inside world’s largest renewable energy park – proof the green transition isn’t dead Stuti Mishra reports from a site in western India that’s roughly seven times larger than the city of Paris and combines solar and wind power to produce energy around the clock. Nothing on this scale e...

... of picture, they say (same as India's stand), but it's going to be significantly less than their green capacity.

This and a lot of cool details about how robots are cleaning solar panels and wind turbines are erected in marshy land here in this dispatch.

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.

Cynicism when a fight is still needed isn’t commendable. Assuming failure is easy.

Determination and resolve in the hardest moments when things look bleak is fucking impressive.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.

When I did my Masters in Carbon Strategy at UEA, I was told that Carbon Capture is all smoke and mirrors. It can be done but the energy consumed produces more carbon than it captures.
Only when we have >100% green energy will it be an option.

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

Susan Delacourt: Is it time to get alarmed about how Trump is kicking off 2026? Serious voices are warning that Canadians need to stare down the reality that we no longer have the luxury of pretending it’s business as usual.

"Despair prevents you from finding solutions. Despair stops you from thinking creatively. And it really is important for people to focus on what constructively we can do together.”

Well said Bob Rae!

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
