  1. While this is great news, the problem has not been down to recycled energy not being inefficient or economically viable. The problem is that neoliberal capitalism makes huge profits from fossil fuels and uses these profits to buy the media and the political system. They can buy up the oil, gas and coal reserves, they can’t buy the sun, wind and tides. Just look at the banks withdrawal from the net zero accord, they have no intention of giving up the vast profits. This is capitalism and capitalism is killing us.

  2. I am making serious bank on my renewables portfolio, despite trumps deranged attempt to stifle wind and solar. He is turning the US into a 3rd rate nation so that Big Oil can have its last hoorah. Renewables are here to stay because the world needs more electricity than Big Oil and Big Coal can provide, period.

  3. I really like this approach on messaging. Fossil fuels are too expensive.

    We should lean into this. I feel like that has the best chance of making the need to take action real for people.

  4. Vestas Wind Systems just landed a 527 MW order into North America. They rallied 12% on the day. IES.L are building a game changer Vanadium LDES battery. You can buy them OTC in the US. IESVF. Still under the radar but making waves in the UK. ABB are hitting all time highs. They make all the power electronics for the BESS. Their ADR was cancelled so you have to buy them in CHF. High quality renewables stocks are only just taking off.

  5. Hopefully real change happens in the long run. Biggest hurdle collectively is we’re still a rag tad band of nation states. Until we have a organized mindset we will play around till it’s too late
