Just stunning at how quickly Greece has transformed it's energy mix.

In a decade, coal has been pretty much driven out from 50% to 6%

More to come as solar expands 👍

Canary Media: "Chart: Lithium-ion battery prices fall yet again." EV battery prices continue to drop along a virtuous curve. In 2010 the cost per kilowatt-hour of energy storage was $1436, but as of today the cost has plummeted to $115, hence a drop of 92% in less than a decade and a half.
Lithium-ion batteries are key to the energy transition, as 'they power electric vehicles and e-bikes and store carbon-free solar and wind power for on-demand use.' The International Energy Agency projects that worldwide one in five new cars sold this year will be battery-powered. Additionally,"electric two- and three-wheelers have taken off in many countries over the last decade, most notably China, India, and Vietnam." Besides competition, other important factors: "Key metals prices plummeted, the cheaper (and safer) lithium iron phosphate chemistry became more popular, and good old-fashioned economies of scale helped manufacturers improve efficiency." Also notably, 'this year marked the first time the average passenger-EV battery price dipped below $100 per kWh — ​“an oft-cited rule of thumb for where EVs reach price parity” with gas cars.' Finally this: "It’s not just lithium-ion batteries that are gliding down the learning curve. Solar and, to a choppier extent, wind have also seen their prices free-fall over time." Technologies get cheaper, whereas fuels get more expensive, whether coal, oil, gas or uranium.

Global solar power is doubling every three years! Wow!

"Solar power surged by a record 474 TWh in 2024, the largest annual growth ever recorded in
absolute terms and the fastest increase in six years (+29%)."

See p.13 of Ember's new study.

Pakistan is slashing its fossil fuel electricity by skyrocketing its solar generation!

Fossil fuels plunged to 30.75% of Pakistan's electricity in February 2025 from 59.53% in February 2019.

How?

Mainly Solar!
It jumped from 2.5% in Feb. 2019 to 26.3% in February 2025! Wow!

The 2025 US Electricity Special Report from EMBER shows that the US grid is getting cleaner as coal is displaced by renewables & gas displace coal. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋
The mix of energy by source in the US is shifting from coal to renewables and gas. This is driving emissions Mt CO2 from its 2006 peak of nearly 2479 Mt CO2 to a low of 1687 Mt CO2.

Learning is a broad concept does it necessarily depend on neurons?

This argues if an organism uses information from past experiences to shape its future decisions, it is also learning.

Multi-Timescale Adaptation and Emergent Learning in Single Bacterial Cells🧪
journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
History-dependent adaptation in bacterial growth control. (a) In contrast to bacteria experiencing a single nutrient upshift (black), bacteria subjected to pulsatile nutrient-rich pulses (green) increase growth rate following upshift significantly faster after experiencing several pulses, but growth rate stabilizes at a value well below that of cells experiencing constant nutrient-rich conditions.
