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.

1/ We were thrilled to see 50+ MPs and Peers at the Overlapping Illness Alliance drop-in last week. Thanks to your emails, nearly 80% of MPs got an invite, one even said it was the most letters they'd ever had about an event. Your support genuinely made a difference.

Libraries matter. Access matters. After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember. @arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

OVERLOOKED: Thermal energy storage doesn’t get enough attention. The world’s thermal storage facility currently being built in Finland will be able to store a whopping 90GWh - that’s 30x more than the largest electric storage facility in operation today.

If you believe parts of the media electric vehicle sales stalled. The data tells a very different story: Global electric car sales are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Over past 3 years sales nearly tripled—reaching 17.3 million new registrations in 2024, up from just 6.5 million in 2021.

I wrote an essay a couple weeks ago that went viral on how America could be heading into a reinvention like only a few times before. My new piece this week lays out the case about why this happens every 80 years and points out all the evidence around us now. peterleyden.substack.com/p/why-americ...

The three main drivers are the arrival of transformative technologies, the looming potential for vast economic growth, plus the right alignment of certain generations. We have them all right now.

Earlier this week, I attended the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Long Covid, where Long Covid Support presented a report; among the numerous recommendations, it called on the government to provide additional funding to research the effects of Long Covid, which has not been funded since 2021.

You may think that neurological symptoms in #LongCovid are for old people, but it is the opposite. Young adults (18–44 years) and middle-aged (45–64 years) with mild acute #COVID cases (non-hospitalized), represent 90% of the cases of #NeuroCovid. Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Screenshot of the study published yesterday Annals of Neurology. Title: Neurologic Manifestations of Long COVID Disproportionately Affect Young and Middle-Age Adults. Interpretation: Younger and middle-age individuals are disproportionally affected by post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Neuro-PASC) regardless of acute COVID-19 severity. Although older people more frequently have abnormal neurologic findings and comorbidities, younger and middle-age patients suffer from a higher burden of Neuro-PASC symptoms and cognitive dysfunction contributing to decreased QoL. Neuro-PASC principally affects adults in their prime, contributing to profound public health and socioeconomic impacts warranting dedicated resources for prevention, diagnosis and interventions.
