This week, we lost one of the world’s greatest advocates for people and nature. Even in her final days, Dr. Jane Goodall was urging us not to give up, and now her legacy lives on through the countless voices she inspired.

RIP Dr. Imre Gyuk- you will be forever remembered as the staunchest champion of energy storage, a diplomat for a brighter energy future, and the strongest bridge between its science and policy making. May your soul rest in peace.
HOT OFF THE PRESS: Industrial electrification is vital for net-zero, but lagging far behind.
While most of industrial process heat could be electrified with existing tech, progress has been minimal.

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.
Brilliant timing.
Across Portugal, Spain and France, some areas could exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the coming days, the result of a hot-air mass that recently brought record-breaking heat and humidity to the eastern United States, and another from Africa.

My main takeaway from the Intersolar / the smarter E Europe exhibition in Munich is that batteries are the new solar. 4 buzzing halls of products, trying to claim a differentiation that doesn't exist, in a rapidly growing market. 14GW of batteries built in Europe + Turkey last year.
THE FOUR STAGES OF PRO-FOSSIL EXPLOITATION OF MAJOR BLACKOUTS
[a thread with videos]
Stage 1: Guilt By Proximity - "any blackout that happens in a region with renewable energy must have been caused by renewable energy"
[we are in the later end of this stage -see, FT, Bloomberg (Blas), etc]
Spain and Portugal were hit by a huge power cut on Monday that paralysed transport networks and disrupted mobile communications, with authorities warning that obstacles remained before electricity could be fully restored. Hours after it began, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said experts were looking for the cause of the outage, which immobilised the rail system, delayed flights and made traffic lights go dark. Countries including Spain are at the forefront of efforts to rely more on electricity as part of the shift away from fossil fuels, but Monday’s crisis is likely to stoke concerns about power networks’ ability to meet the added demand. Data from the Spanish electricity operator showed that consumption dropped by more than 10GW when the blackout hit shortly after 12.30pm local time, suggesting that it was one of the biggest in recent European history. Weather data showed that temperatures in southern Spain increased sharply between midday and 1pm local time. Higher temperatures can limit how much electricity cables can carry.
This is another trope that helps associate grid catastrophes with energy transition without evidence.
I call it the Object Proximity tactic: they drops (a) the blackout occurred and (b) there's a high share of renewables, and then just waggles their eyebrows meaningfully ->

Hopeful news from CA!
The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act (SB 684/AB 1243) has passed out of committee with a 9-4 vote.
This legislation, already passed in VT and NYS, would compel fossil fuel polluters to pay for climate damage.

“We are pleased that Huntington Beach’s latest attempt to exempt itself from our state’s housing laws has failed. All along, Governor Newsom and I have asserted that the City’s federal lawsuit is meritless and a waste of the public’s money,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Like every other city in California, Huntington Beach has a legal obligation to build its fair share of housing. We will be closely monitoring what the City decides to do next. Our state lawsuit against Huntington Beach is also on appeal. We remain confident we will prevail there, too.”

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
