The IEA’s 2025 outlook makes it clear: clean energy is eating fossil fuels’ lunch. ⚡ Renewables, grids, storage & electrification now draw double the cash of oil, gas & coal—despite IEA’s erratic underestimates for over a decade. The age of electricity isn’t coming, it’s here. 🌍 #EnergyTransition

I see BBC Newsnight had an IEA staffer on again last night - alongside Kim Darroch and Jon Sopel.
It’s ridiculous that the BBC continues to platform the IEA’s extreme, economically ruinous agenda. It’s like the Truss fiasco never happened.

Lot of media outlets stuffing up the distinction between scenarios and "forecasts"/"projections"/"predictions" - but honestly, pretty much every single one of the IEA vs solar charts I've seen presented the IEA's scenarios in exactly this (wrong) way

It’s also interesting he mentions the global demand for oil, which the IEA (who he’s citing!) forecasted will begin to diminish years before this pipeline is even built.

This is so wild. He’s making claims of billions in revenue from this pipeline into 2060.
I would LOVE to know where he’s getting these numbers from — bc the IEA’s last non-Trump-pressured forecast shows oil demand declining as of 2030.
+ If it’s as profitable as he claims, our climate is fucked.

IEA's mid-year electricity review is out. Some highlights below:
First time in 100 years, renewables are set to overtake coal in global electricity production as soon as this year (or latest next year).
Wind + Solar contribution to global grid mix will reach 20% by 2026, up from 4% in 2016.
