A new IRENA report shows that round-the-clock renewable power is already cheaper than fossil fuels in many regions
Solar + wind + battery storage are now delivering reliable 24/7 electricity — challenging the old idea that renewables can’t match fossil fuel reliability
Santa Marta plants the seeds of a #fossilfree future: Civil society will hold governments to account.

The First Conference on Transitioning Away from #Fossilfuels concluded in Colombia with almost 60 countries addressing what decades of UN climate negotiations have largely avoided: the need to wind down fossil fuels production itself. Climate Action Network welcomes this historic step – and puts governments on notice that civil society will ensure it does not stop here.
“There is another positive consequence of the clean energy boom: the diminishment of the carbon coalition — the interest groups and ideologues who hate renewable energy and want the world to keep burning fossil fuels. That coalition currently controls the Trump administration’s energy policy. But this is only the latest stage in the corruption of U.S. politics by fossil fuel interests.” https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-is-losing-a-second-war #renewableEnergy #renewables #energy #solar #USA #uspol #uspolitics via #WWEA

#WWEAwebinar: Minigrids with Small Wind in Practice
8 April 2026, 13:00 - 15:00 Central European Summer Time Free Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Fp3k_WMjRvKjaziNmapyOw
As electrification expands to remote and underserved areas, need for reliable, local energy solutions grows. Minigrids are emerging as key technology, combining PV, small wind, and storage to create resilient and efficient energy systems.

How Far Did Looney Travel?: My best estimate considering we lost him twice at the pole, is he covered 25,000 miles. The circumference of the Earth is about 25k. With all of the switchbacks etc you would think it would have been more than that but in reality he spent his time wandering the top of the Earth as you can see in the pic. If he went around the equator you would not even see the path from this angle. So our intrepid traveler went far enough to loop the Earth. #windenergy ©Tom Kaye on FB
