In this time of turbulence, let's not forget the good news on solar and batteries - now cheap enough that most people can get most of their electricity from them, and save money.
Had a great time with Chris Nelder 🤘 (npub1mzd…58f4) on his Energy Transition Show (npub1ass…xqkk) podcast discussing what this new world looks like, based on a recent blog post:

In Energy Transition Show (npub1ass…xqkk) Ep. 272, Tom Brown Tom Brown (npub1tds…q7an) shares a new model which shows that by 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the global population for less than €80/MWh. It would not only be cost-effective, but also likely cheaper than gas. https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-273-can-solar-and-batteries-power-the-world/
