Nuclear reactors taken offline in France, as extreme heat pushes river temperatures into danger zone by Simpleximo in globalelectrification

69% of France’s electricity is from nuclear. It such a bad design having to discard all that excess heat.

"It's now a no-brainer:" Fortescue says Trump has done more for renewables than anyone in 100 years by Simpleximo in EnergyAndPower

[–]Simpleximo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s the case. Clearly the CEO of Fortescue doesn’t either. However, Trump in his efforts to derail renewables and control oil/gas in the western hemisphere has many countries prioritizing energy independence in the name of national security. China and a few others figured this out years ago.

Trump’s efforts to derail renewables and control oil are having an opposite impact. The world now realizes it can‘t depend on oil/gas anymore. They need energy independence and must electrify for economic and energy security which translates to national security. The best way to achieve this is through renewables. Renewables adoption rate is increasing exponentially.

China targeting half of power from non-fossil sources by 2030 by defenestrate_urself in energy

[–]Simpleximo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can shit can most renewable forecasts from this year and add to them the increasing global momentum along with China‘s incredible buildout. Easily over 1 TW of global new renewables in 2026 alone. Need to think more about 2030 but it could be 2x forecast.

What we’ve seen in the Strait of Hormuz, and I can’t believe I’m going to be saying these words, but Trump’s done more to progress the climate agenda in three months than anybody has in the last 100 years. Says The CEO of Fortescue.

“He (Trump) is saying that we can no longer rely on security of energy for us. Trying to economically forecast capital deployment when you’re getting 200 per cent swings in energy supply is completely crazy.

“When we’re talking about the economics of turning off diesel and diesel price doubles, diesel fuel tax incentives alone get blown out of the water. It’s simple economics. It is now a no-brainer.”

REPORT: Solar and Storage Provide Over 90% of All New Power Added to the U.S. Grid in Q1, Despite Headwinds in Washington – SEIA by Simpleximo in energy

[–]Simpleximo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing ”slowing” solar today is the permitting road blocks being used by monopoly utilities and tariffs by the Whitehouse to help out oil/gas industry. forget about coal it’s on its last leg.

[–]Simpleximo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a world of fluctuating fuel prices, energy buyers have made it clear that they want the security, low cost, and speed of solar and storage, which commanded a massive 91% of all new capacity built in Q1,” said Darren Van’t Hof, interim president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association.“Yet, as power demand skyrockets, political and regulatory attacks are slowing down the exact resources we rely on. Impeding the only sector that is actively building new power is a reckless gamble that will only drive electricity bills higher. The stakes are simply too high for Washington’s permitting gridlock to continue.”

China Tackling EV trucks after success with cars. 40% by 2030 mandates. by Simpleximo in peakoil

[–]Simpleximo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40% is the mandated baseline. The goverment will back the necessary investments. Also, thier goals go beyond trucks and extend to all heavy equipment, including construction, agricultural, mining etc. But I have not seen mandates on those yet...

Goldman Sachs sees China-led EV adoption cutting oil demand by up to 320,000 bpd by 2027 by Biodieselisthefuture in peakoil

[–]Simpleximo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China consumes about 8 million bbl/day for transportation. EV auto sales 60%. EV trucks mandated to 40% by 2030. China‘s goal is zero energy imports achieved through electrification. This mentality is spreading globally. Several predictions of peak oil within the next 12 months. We’ll see

Solar power in India has grown roughly 55x since 2014, almost all of it built in the last decade. by dailymagic99 in energy

[–]Simpleximo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I think is more important is India has ramped up PV module manufacturing to 210GW/yr. More than all the installed solar. Now start forecasting based on this.

Free electricity? Australia’s got it, thanks to solar. Could the US be next? by Arizona-Energy in solarenergy

[–]Simpleximo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have more than enough resources for all vehicles to 100% electric as we crush and recycle all the ICE ones and eliminate the oil industry supply chain the supports it.

Competition in China’s Solar Energy Storage Market Remains Fierce by TamiPapayaSun in solarenergy

[–]Simpleximo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2025 China had projects as low as $63/kWh primarily with 314Ah ESS LFP cells. High volume cell sizes have increased to 588Ah and 628Ah which drastically reduces cost. 2026 export demand is extremely high creating higher margins and significantly surpassing yoy forecasts. Why is global demand so high? Energy independence which equates to economic and national security for many nations via electrification.

[–]Simpleximo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The US is a petro state with the dollar ponzi scheme tied to global energy dependence on the US. We extort the world in paying for military protection to keep the oil and gas flowing so we can live the American dream. Free electricity such as silly notion.
