The car industry laughed at EVs. In 2015, 330,000 were sold worldwide. In 2025, 14 million.
Nepal went from under 1% to over 75% of new car imports in four years.

"...the Conservative Climate Caucus failed to keep the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits from being rolled back last year."
They had the votes to stop attacks on clean energy from Trump Administration and R leadership.
But did not.

An initial experiment in Canada offers hope for protecting thawing permafrost and keeping carbon in the ground!
Exposed areas of land will be protected with a layer of wood chips, plant seeds, coconut fiber mats to curb erosion, help vegetation recover.

In Nigeria, solar panels are the new wedding gift:
>A home solar setup costs $4,500. A diesel generator is $1,200, but burns $180/month in fuel
>The “cheap” diesel generator costs more than solar within 18 months, then it keeps on burning diesel and cash

Solar Is Electrifying Zambia
Zambia has ~1.3 GW of solar operating and another 1.6 GW of solar under construction.
That compares to Zambia's TOTAL electricity generating capacity of ~4 GW at the end of 2024.
Solar in Africa is transformational!

Historic: Solar alone has become China’s #1 power source by capacity: 1,286 GW vs coal’s 1,285 GW
Coal led by 300 GW at end-2024. Solar erased that deficit in 19 months, even as China kept building coal
Nameplate is captured. Displacing coal's actual TWh is next: unstoppable
Getting rid of a petrol car, replacing it with an #EV reduces climate emissions, even a new petrol car, says a study in ”Science”.
Just 20 % of the fuel is actually used to propel the vehicle forward. The rest is lost as heat.

In just four years, annual battery storage additions grew tenfold as costs declined, driving rapid deployment.
The same increase in solar capacity took nine years, and wind 15 years.
