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. My piece for The New World 👇

BloombergNEF w 2019 roku pokazał prognozę produkcji baterii na świecie. Nikt inny nie prognozował tak agresywnego wzrostu. Dziś w Monachium Michael Liebreich wrócił do tej prognozy, pokazanej na poniższym slajdzie w formie słupków i porównał ją z rzeczywistością w formie wykresu liniowego... – at Raszyn, Polska

Sweden has fallen far behind Denmark in new sold EV:s. In Denmark cars powered only by electricity are 89 % of new car sales! Sweden was ahead of Denmark in 2022, when conservatives abolished the #EV subsidy. Now 49 % of Swedish new cars are electric. matochklimat.nu/danmark-rusa…

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 Wires chewing pipelines

An analysis in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology (2024), of two million people in 20 countries, reveals a strong link between red meat (beef, lamb, pork) and type 2 diabetes. A new French study involving 90,000 participants shows the same association. matochklimat.nu/rott-kott-ko…

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! pv-magazine.com/2026/10/21/z…

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
