The reality is that this the message that sells to Sun readers (& many, many more). So the question is why do so many people think environmentalists are head-banging, paint-chucking, road-blocking, doom-laden, misery merchants? And what do we do about it?

Out of all the nuclear power built in the entire human history, China built more solar power in under a year. The entire human species was unable to build more nuclear power in 100 years than China built as solar power in 300 days. Why would we waste our chances to save our climate?

Lyme Disease is thriving in our warmer, wetter world. It’s very easy to catch, hard to get a diagnosis and harder to get a cure. Meet the Drs in denial (some would call it negligence). fishrise.substack.com/p/lyme-doola...

Thermal energy storage doesn’t get enough attention. The world’s thermal storage facility currently being built in Finland will be able to store a whopping 90GWh - that’s 30x more than the largest electric storage facility in operation today. interestingengineering.com/energy/caver...

The Varanto project design comprises three caverns, each measuring over 900 feet (300 m) long, 131 feet (40 m) high, and 65 feet (20 m) wide.

Electrification is efficiency. When we electrify our energy systems coupled with clean electricity, something remarkable occurs: significant inefficiencies disappear. In a decarbonized world, our energy demand will be much lower than it is today. www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electrific...

We don't have LLMDs in the UK. Doctors pass the buck to consultants who, in my case, refused to see me because I'd had the (wrong course) of doxycycline. I have to fly to Ireland to find a specialist who can write prescriptions for antibiotic combination therapy.

"For some developers of fossil-fuel plants, the speedier emergence of clean energy projects that can generate an equal or greater amount of low-emissions power could result in their proposed projects becoming surplus to requirements before they can even be built" www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Southeast Asia's bright gas demand outlook may disappoint: Maguire

Southeast Asia is fast becoming a key growth market for natural gas, and on paper has an aggressive development pipeline for gas-fired power stations that if completed would ensure the region would be a major gas consumer for decades.

Half a trillion dollars by 2050 seems quite low. Total global real estate assets are between $300-$400 trillion. At least 1% (but likely a lot more) will be destroyed within this decade. That’s $3 trillion destroyed by 2029 rather than $0.5 trillion by 2050.
