À Carcassonne, Moissac ou encore Castres, les nouveaux édiles RN coupent le micro aux élus d’opposition pendant les conseils municipaux, retirent certains livres des bibliothèques, suppriment le défilé du 1er-Mai… Et la liste est encore longue. Le pluralisme ? Jeté aux oubliettes.

The solar panels, electric vehicles, EV batteries and wind turbines exported by China in 2025 will avoid annual emissions equal to those of the UK and Portugal combined, according to my new estimates. Avoided emissions increased 30% compared with 2024 exports.

Want to help cash-strapped consumers struggling with skyrocketing oil prices? Then reduce barriers to EVs from China as Australia has done Latest example: the BYD Atto 1 at only €12,300 or $14,100(US) is now the cheapest car in Australia of any fuel type thedriven.io/2026/09/16/a...

thedriven.io

Australia's cheapest new car is fully electric, and BYD's move will change the conversation about EVs

BYD's stunning low price for the Atto 1 is not just changing conversations about the transition to EVs, it is attacking one of the last bastions of the ICE market - the petrol hatch.

And it’s not just the colors that underplay it Bloomberg’s chart would be a lot uglier—and more useful in terms of climate+environmental impacts—if it showed primary energy use instead of final Fossil fuels are so inefficient their use will dwarf renewables if those projections are accurate

Eric Walters @ericwalters.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

They seem to have both tapped into oil reserves AND significantly reduced demand — by 9% in Q2 and likely more in Q3 — by accelerating EV adoption (esp EV trucks), shifting high-mileage uses to EVs, etc But can’t tap reserves forever …. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

Eric Walters @ericwalters.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Wild that the chart focuses almost exclusively on “share” and “intensity” while ignoring absolute numbers (esp fossil fuel use per year) Pretty big leap of faith to assume that decreasing ff share necessarily overcomes increasing demand esp since up until now hasn’t happened on a global scale
