When it comes to the energy transition I'm a glass half full person. I know: plenty of people would say that's terribly naive. They point to the scale of the challenge. They point to vested interests. They point to hard-to-abate sectors. And they're not wrong. But here's what they miss. 🧵

👍 Good news from new @ember-energy.org research: wind and solar overtook fossil fuels in the EU electricity mix for the first time ever in 2025. 🌪️ and ☀️ made up a record 30% of 🇪🇺 electricity, up from 20% just five years ago. Read the full electricity review below 👇 ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Some good news: Brazil's fight against deforestation is paying climate dividends.
lemonde.fr
Brazil records biggest annual fall in emissions in 15 years, notably thanks to fight against deforestation
The gross emissions of Latin America's biggest country fell by 16.7% year-on-year, according to Brazil's Climate Observatory, a network of environmental NGOs.

My jaw literally dropped when I checked out @ignfrance.bsky.social's BD TOPO (high precision database of French infrastructure, here in vector format). Last time I checked (years ago admittedly), this was something that cost several thousands euros for a single département.

In these turbulent times—while the galaxy reels from crisis to crisis—sometimes the only way forward… is sideways, into Star Wars canon. A timeline of every Star Wars show, charted in story-order from the dawn of the Republic to the First Order. #DarthJarJar #StarWars #MayThe4th #Andor #dataviz

NEW | 74% of the global population lives in countries that are net importers of fossil fuels. 12 countries supply 80% of net fossil fuel exports - with rising trade uncertainty, this puts much of the world at risk. 1/8 🧵 ember-energy.org/lat...

This dataviz is absolutely amazing 😍 Global bird species' conservation status displayed as a massive flock! By Andrea Garrec, longlisted for the 2024 Information Is Beautiful Awards www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/showcase/731... #dataviz 📊🌏🧪🐦🦉🦆🦅
What appears to be a massive flock of birds in red, purple and blue colours in a pale blue sky. Each "bird" represents a bird species, and their colour represents their conservation status from the IUCN Red List. Around one third of species appear to be near threatened, endangered or extinct

In 2004, it took the world a year to add one gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day.

Extremely enjoyable progression so far... Which one should be next?
Three books I've been reading:
- Material World, by Ed Conway
- Volt Rush, by Henry Sanderson
- InEVitable, by Mike Colias

I'm afraid I'm going down this rabbit hole of building physical data viz with Lego. #midlifeCrisis Expect stop motion builds of wind turbines, EV vs petrol car (bar chart) races, me piling up yellow bricks to explain solar autoconsumption, and more 😁

I’ve decided to dedicate myself full time to earth.nullschool.net. There is much work to do! In particular, I’m going to explore ways for the site to help fight climate change. More on this in the near future. It’s been an amazing 10 years. Here’s hoping for 10 more. 🎉

Did you know? The United States depends on a little more than 5% of its counties to produce half of the crops consumers eat. We helped build the Plotline Food Twin project alongside CU Boulder and Earth Genome researchers to visualize the U.S. food system. Article: www.colorado.edu/today/2023/1...

On my way to Edinburgh for the Info+ conference! Looking forward to talk about (fantasy) maps, books, politics, trains, data, design, accessibility, climate change, renewables, train maps, reading books on trains, accessible trains, train data. Trains!

Wind and solar power have taken off over the past two decades, faster than experts ever expected. But it hasn’t yet been enough to halt the rise of coal- and gas-burning generation. Explore all the trends, country-by-country, here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
