Last year, 80% of electricity demand growth was met by wind and solar.
Once 100% of all growing electricity demand is met by clean sources 📈, fossil-based generation will begin falling 📉#GER2023

On #InternationalWomensDay, we invite everyone working on #SDG7 to embrace "Feminist Electrification." When women participate and lead in all aspects of designing + delivering #SE4All, everyone wins.
#genderjustice and #climatejustice are inextricably linked.
#EmbraceEquity
Excellent and unvarnished insights from one of the many Haitian leaders working on building opportunities, stability and prosperity in #Haiti. Authentic local leadership + decentralized systems are key ingredients.

But... but... the minerals!
Clean energy really is just cleaner, even accounting for greenhouse gas emissions from across the lifecycle. Minerals production and refining and all. Study after study confirms. A nice summary here from @IEA
How much cleaner are the clean energy technologies such as renewables, electric cars, heat pumps, and hydrogen compared to the dominant technologies?
Significantly. Here’s a neat summary graph from @IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives 2023.

Electrification is just more efficient!
Induction: ~3x more efficient than gas range (energystar.gov/about/2021_re….)
EV: >4x more efficient than internal combustion engine (tank/battery to wheels)
Heat pump: ~3-4x more efficient than a boiler (HSPF 10-14 consumerreports.org/applianc…)
Same for @washingtongas. @councilofdc will solve this though, right?
