A better name for wind farms, solar parks, big hydro:

"Non renewable systems for capturing renewable energy flows."

Term used by Pedro Petro (cited by @casdeiro in his "The uncomfortable truths about the energy transition" (in Spanish).

Clean energy pushes China's CO2 emissions into historic reversal.

For the first time ever, China's carbon emissions are falling even as power demand grows, marking a major potential turning point in climate action.

Wind, solar and nuclear are now reducing the use of coal even as electricity needs soar, with emissions declining 1.6% in the first quarter of 2025 and by 1% over the last 12 months.

This is a crucial structural shift, differing from previous declines, which were caused by economic downturns or COVID lockdowns.

It's probably a little early for serious celebration - a looming drought could threaten hydropower, and of course nobody knows what's going to happen with tariffs.

Long term, a continued downward trend will depend heavily on China's upcoming five-year plan targets and sustained renewable expansion.

Make no mistake though, this is very, very good news. #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #environment #pollution #renewables #China

Carbon Brief · Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time - Carbon BriefFor the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.

Utility attacks on net metering are frivolous.

Let's look at an example.

Lydie's Neighbor's house uses 20kWh per day.

Lydie over produces all of that and then some.

Lydie's kWh arrive at her neighbor's house with almost no line loss, and no use of transmission.

If the utility powered Lydie's neighbor from their power plants, they might need to generate 25kWh, assuming 5kWh is lost in transmission.

But the utility charges Lydie's neighbor full price for Lydie's kWh even though the utility is coming out ahead, and tries to say that Lydie doesn't deserve full net metering.

It's BS and we all know it.

If you are interested in renewable energy, then as @adamtooze suggests, you will want to be keeping up with the renewables revolution in China.... while often reported as still building fossil fuel capacity, as Tooze notes the real story is the accelerated & expanding build-out of renewable energy generation in China.

A dilemma.. “for Europe, as the continent races to start extracting and producing minerals like lithium that are critical to the clean energy transition, instead of relying on imports from China and other emerging economies….

communities where the resources are located question whether they will benefit from their exploitation.”
