Maybe we should sell tote bags or t-shirts ;) 0 new users have stepped forward to chip in towards server costs since July 2026. Huge thanks to the 6 users who have regularly contributed to the server since we began fund-raising in 2024! (mastodon.energy has been running non-stop since November 2022) 85% of the server costs and all of the time to maintain them is currently unfunded. We need about 40 more folks from our many regular users to chip in just to cover server costs. $5 - https://chipin.mastodon.energy/b/9AQbMFdHs21BblK005 $10 - https://chipin.mastodon.energy/b/dR6aIB5aW35F1LafZ4 $15 - https://chipin.mastodon.energy/b/fZeeYReLw49JdtScMT $20 - https://chipin.mastodon.energy/b/aEUcQJgTE0XxexW6ow $25 - https://chipin.mastodon.energy/b/dR64kd8n8bCb4Xm8wF Any amount: https://chipin.mastodon.energy/b/00g4kddHs9u39dC147 #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTransition #Climate

Hi all. I’m bored. I’m not really “back” - still have super bad writer’s block/no time - but I’ve realized I need conversation that’s not just “lol Instagram reel.” So hello, people of Mastodon. I am doing a PhD in #PoliSci (#geoeconomics/#CriticalRawMaterials). I work on the #EnergyTransition and often go to energy conferences and similar, most recently at DGAP and one held by adelphi. I live in Germany (mein Deustch ist C1 aber nicht perfekt) . Photography is my thing. Hallo! #introduction

Australia's #coal consumption is about the same as Germany but we have a much smaller population #auspol #energytransition #renewableenergy https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-countries-that-consume-the-most-coal/ Crossposted with @openvibe@mastodon.social

The world's biggest coal consumers

The world's biggest coal consumers in 2025, led by China and India, as global coal demand reached another record high.

Hmm. The unfortunate reality of the Carnot cycle and the need to not boil the fish? "The latest French heatwave has forced the temporary shutdown of three nuclear power stations to avoid the discharge of warm cooling water into overheated waterways." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clye4z168edo #Energy #NuclearEnergy #EnergyTransition

The House Bill 6 scandal is the largest public corruption case in Ohio history. Utility companies secretly spent millions of dollars to influence elections and pass a law that forced Ohio residents to pay for failing power plants. This timeline shows what happened, who was involved, and how the scandal unfolded from 2019 to today. #FirstEnergy #Ohio #Corruption #Climate #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTransition #Householder

House Bill 6 Scandal Timeline: Ohio’s Largest Corruption Case

The House Bill 6 scandal—the biggest in Ohio history—was a $60 million scheme by FirstEnergy and other utility companies to buy seats and votes in the Ohio House to secure passage of a billion dollar bailout of failing nuclear and coal plants in Ohio and Indiana.

If you're going to organise objections, then it's probably wise to arrange for people to turn up. “The Commission received one registration to speak at the public meeting, from an elected member of the local Council who is already separately meeting with the Panel regarding the application,” https://reneweconomy.com.au/planning-meeting-over-solar-and-battery-project-cancelled-after-none-of-133-objectors-bothers-to-show-up/ #AusPol #EnergyTransition

The private market can't deliver a rapid #decarbonization of the economy. It's internal features prevent the coordination required to transform production. 🌎 Melanie Brusseler writes for Brief Ecology: Decarbonization Is a Coordination Problem – and Private Markets Can't Solve It. https://www.briefecology.com/the-eco-update-29/decarbonization-is-a-coordination-problem-and-private-markets-cant-solve-it #decarbonization #renewables #capitalism #energy #energytransition #solarpunksunday

Wrote something for the local paper. It is about the mid-transition and how locals shouldn't count on the gas stations that are half way between their exurb and the city always being there as EV adoption picks up. It was inspired by this @TransitionShow@mastodon.energy interview with Emily Grubert from 2022. Designing the Mid-transition https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-185-designing-the-mid-transition/ #energytransition #climate #energy The paper didn't publish the letter on their website so sadly no link. Part of text in alt-text.

[Episode #185] – Designing the Mid-transition | The Energy Transition Show

Can we coordinate replacing fossil-fueled assets with clean, zero-carbon assets so that both systems remain functional and affordable during the transition?

You can’t decouple economic growth from energy consumption. Building the future requires power. Look at the AI boom—global data center energy use is approaching 1,050 TWh because advanced computing requires massive upfront power. The broader economy works the exact same way. Critics panicking over short-term emission spikes lack a 10-year vision. Technology scales exponentially. With global clean energy spending at $2.2 trillion and clean tech driving 99% of new generating capacity, market dynamics will naturally cause emissions to recede as the infrastructure matures. We don’t solve global challenges with economic stagnation or austerity. We solve them by leaning into growth, building infrastructure, and letting innovation deliver the long-term efficiency that benefits everyone. #CdnPoli #EnergyTransition #MarkCarney #AIBoom #TechRealism #CleanTech #EconomicGrowth

#MarkCarney is yesterday's man. This is an absolutely hopeless failure of the moment. He must be defeated before he can complete the great harm that is his plan in turning Canada's future during a time of #EnergyTransition over to the foreign-owned #BigOil world burners. #cdnpoli RE:

“The changes we have made will mean that our emissions will be higher in the next few years than they were projected to be under the previous government’s plan,” Carney said. “In my judgment that plan was not sustainable over the long term.” https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/mark-carney-abandons-trudeau-era-carbon-emissions-targets/article_89b35724-50db-4038-8702-0073af1016a6.html

I was asleep at the switch when this came out a few days ago. It is *very* worth reading what @pluralistic@mamot.fr has to say. What Trump is doing is horrendous but some things might *inadvertently* change in a positive way - more quickly - because he's doing them. https://pluralistic.net/2026/04/20/praxis/#acceleration #trump #EnergyTransition #solar #renewables

American Efficient & affiliated companies must pay about $1.1 billion for “one of the largest and most brazen frauds” in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s history. American Efficient violated the market rules of the PJM Interconnection and MISO by selling them energy efficiency resources that it didn’t control or that wouldn’t reduce load beyond what would have happened anyway. #EnergyMastodon #Corruption #Climate #EnergyTransition

FERC orders American Efficient to pay $1.1B for ‘brazen fraud’

“American Efficient’s years-long fraud profoundly disrupted the organized capacity markets and ultimately increased costs for ordinary Americans,” FERC Chairman Laura Swett said.

China's renewable energy expansion has reached staggering scale. In 2023 alone, the country added 216 GW of solar capacity — more than the total ever installed in the United States. Wind added another 100 GW. Total renewable capacity now exceeds 1.5 TW. For comparison, the entire US power grid (all sources) stands at approximately 1.2 TW. This is driven by energy security needs, market dominance (China controls 80% of solar supply chains), and economics. Solar prices have fallen 90% in a decade, making it the cheapest energy source in history. The challenge now is transmission. China is building ultra-high-voltage lines and massive battery storage to move power from western deserts to eastern industrial centers. For investors: grid infrastructure, copper, lithium, and rare earth metals are the strategic assets of the coming decade. #China #Renewables #Solar #EnergyTransition #Investing #Grid
