  3. theconversation.com/why-climat. If only! The problem is (apart from anything else, mentioned in the article), that #renewable #energy = renewable #electricity, & electricity is only 21% of global final energy #consumption (yearbook.enerdata.net/electric), with 61.3% of that generated by "unabated #fossilfuels" as of 2021 (iea.org/fuels-and-technologies). That situation will need to improve considerably, to say the least.

  4. A major step has been taken in Nevis’ #renewable energy agenda following confirmation that the #Nevis Island Administration (NIA) has signed a contract to begin drilling #geothermal production wells. thestkittsnevisobserver.com/ne

  5. @TechCrunch I'd be curious how they've worked out the diminishing returns of a given bore hole.

    For heating/cooling, geothermal is effectively unlimited b/c it recharges itself as the seasons turn over. In Summer it moves heat into rock to cool the home, in winter it removes heat for use.

    Power generation is 100% one direction drawing out heat and rock doesn't transmit heat efficiently to replenish faster than it's pulled out.

    One solution is drilling extra bore holes but that's the $$$ part of geothermal. If recharge happens over, say, 2 years of idle, you drill 3x the number of bore holes you need for your capacity. If it's 3 years to recharge you need 4x your capacity drilled, etc.

  9. @agatesfrommexico Indeed so. The idea that #renewable #energy, & the #minerals that go with it, is environmentally & socially cost-free, is a complete nonsense. That said, #renewables are still vastly preferable to #fossilfuels & #nuclear - so we just have to find a way of making them compatible, somehow, with #social & #environmental #justice. Clearly, we MUST reduce energy #consumption & #waste.

  10. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the. It would help, wouldn't it, Paul Krugman, if the #global #economy weren't so dependent on frickin' #OIL!! If there is one, & only one, good thing that comes out of this wretched #war, it will be a surge in #renewables! #Trump is a sworn #enemy of #renewable #energy, & #climatechange denier, but he is doing renewables a huge favour, as @georgemonbiot.bsky.social has pointed out (monbiot.com/2026/04/21/self-bu).

  11. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a. The absolute & utter #stupidity of the #Trump Administration simply beggars belief. Do any of them REALLY believe increasing the #reliance of the #USA on #fossilfuels during the #war with #Iran, & actually blocking #renewable #energy #projects, will improve America's energy #security & #affordability? They're not only #stupid - they're #insane, @GeraldKutney!

  12. If you ever have free or cheap electricity, that is the time to run a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, etc) mining machine (an ASIC, a machine with lots of GPUs, etc). It doesn't need a fast Internet connection, and it can earn you a lot of easy money in mining fees.

  23. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m. Just imagine if the #US & #global #economies were far more dependent on #renewable #energy, & far less dependent on #fossilfuels, which neither Donald #Trump nor the #fossilfuel #companies would like. Would the #USA & #Israel be at #war with #Iran, would global #markets, #firms & #households be concerned about volatile energy #prices - would we be in this mess of Trump's & Netanyahu's making?

  24. Despite #EPP and #ECR and other right wing corporate supporters in the #EU, this crisis is showing that #renewable #green energy and #sustainable fertiliser/#farming practices are not just ‘hippie’ policies, but necessary for economic independence and security of the EU.

  25. Iran war exposes Thai energy fragility
    🧐"primary barrier lies in #power #purchase agreements tt #EGAT has signed w #commercial power producers. However, such contracts aren't rigid. In several countries, incl'g Spain, similar agrmts hv been renegotiated for the #public good.. te barrier is not technical or legal -- it is #political.. direction fwd shld now be clear: expanding #renewable #energy while building a more #democratic & resilient energy system for #Thai society"

  28. #Iran war #EnergyCrisis is a #renewable energy wake-up call

    By Aniruddha Ghosal, March 20, 2026

    HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — "The war in Iran is exposing the world’s reliance on fragile #FossilFuel routes, lending urgency to calls for hastening the shift to renewable energy.

    Fighting has all but halted oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that carries about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, or LNG. The disruption has jolted energy markets, pushing up prices and straining import-dependent economies.

    Asia, where most of the oil was headed, has been hit hardest, but the disruptions also are a strain for Europe, where policymakers are looking for ways to cut energy demand, and for Africa, which is bracing for rising fuel costs and inflation.

    Unlike during previous oil shocks, renewable power is now competitive with fossil fuels in many places. More than 90% of new renewable power projects worldwide in 2024 were cheaper than fossil-fuel alternatives, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency."

    #Transport for #London has appointed SSE Energy Solutions to develop #solar installations that will supply #renewable #electricity directly to the Tube via a private wire network. The scheme could generate up to 65,000MWh a year — around two-thirds of the Victoria line’s annual demand — cutting reliance on the National Grid and helping stabilise energy costs. The solar sites, likely to include ground-mounted arrays and rooftop panels near the network, could save more than 27,000 tonnes of carbon over 25 years. TfL, London’s largest electricity user, consumes about 1.6TWh annually and aims to run entirely on renewable electricity by 2030. The deal supports its wider energy purchasing strategy, including power purchase agreements, and forms part of efforts to #decarbonise operations, expand zero-emission #buses and improve #energy efficiency across the network.
