@grob @bhawthorne @janrosenowGermany really screwed itself over by getting rid of all those nuclear plants: we really needed to focus on the immediate issue of fossil fuel burning, not the scare tactics the fossil fuel industry has been using against nuclear.
@ariaflame @sesivany @aslakr @borisschapira @janrosenow …and also the country responsible for 95% of new coal…https://www.carbonbrief.org/china-responsible-for-95-of-new-coal-power-construction-in-2023-report-says/
@GreenFire @janrosenow we need to help that along and move that faster by getting the fossil fuel lobby out of car CEO heads and governments, and off of the advertising airwaves.
@janrosenow Hey, but Sweden's largest urban area is in the South, where the climate is relatively moderate (as long as the Gulfstream keeps flowing, at least).
Sweden has led the world on heat pumps. A remarkable transition away from heating oil to ambient heat. In two weeks I will open the Nesta event "What can we learn from Sweden’s rollout of heat pumps?" and summarise how they did it.https://www.nesta.org.uk/event/what-can-we-learn-from-swedens-rollout-of-heat-pumps/
NEW RECORD: In July this year Germany broke a new record: 27% of all electricity generation was from solar, more than ever before in a month.Source: Agora Energiewende
