NEW RESEARCH: COP31 wants electricity at 35% of global energy by 2035.

That’s not just a climate target. It’s the start of the biggest efficiency programme the world has ever attempted.

Electrify and energy waste falls by 61%.

- Build ridiculous amounts of renewables.
- Electrify everything.
- Relegate fossil fuels to specialized niche purposes.
- Win.

Let’s electrify it while we’re at it

Nationalize Greyhound and put dedicated (and enforced) bus lanes on every highway. Expand routes and sell tickets at cost. Electrify the fleet as soon as practicable.
What is an unsexy policy that if passed would immediately help millions of people?

The people want more trains! Let's electrify the LOSSAN corridor and build the tunnels to get the train off the beach so it can truly rival the Northeast Corridor!
Amtrak's done it again: For the third year in a row it's set a new ridership record

• Ridership: 37.1 million (+7% YoY)
• Ticket Revenue: $2.96 billion (+9.5% YoY)
• FY 2026 Revenue: $4.13 billion (+4.8% YoY)

The Northeast Corridor alone saw over 16 million passengers

What can be done to help people electrify even faster? On Bloomberg Green's Zero podcast this week, Oxford University's Jan Rosenow explains how data supports the case for electrification in almost all situations

Electricity isn’t exactly new, but all of a sudden, electrotech seems to be winning over the masses. What can be done to help people electrify even faster?

Lads could ye just electrify the train lines from Galway and Cork to Dublin? Don't need this culture/class war shite.

Even more reason to electrify.

It's the same as the 'electrify everything' future

Absolutely. And there is your ten-year plan. Electrify industry, modernise the grid, retrofit homes, build active travel infrastructure, expand rail and urban transport.

You know in Weird Science how they electrify a Playboy and a personification of sexual fantasy came to life? This is what happens you electrify a Joseph Conrad novel.
Back in March, billionaire oil CEO John Catsimatidis said Americans should just “suffer for one month” with high gas prices for the sake of the war.

Last week, he told the NYT he plans to buy a new plane with his excess wartime profits.
It’s time to tax Big Oil’s disgusting war profits
Democrats are arguing over whether to pursue retribution or economic relief once they take office. Why not both?

Amusingly, they've had to electrify the trees in the giraffe habitat to stop them from getting knocked over.

Wars and energy shocks are accelerating the case to electrify economies as governments seek to curb exposure to volatile fossil-fuel prices and limit imports.

More and more workers are commuting between Sacramento and the Bay. Let's electrify Capitol Corridor to make this trip faster and more frequent! www.sfgate.com/california/a...
They supercommute more than 70 miles to the bay. They wouldn't change it.

torn if I want to electrify it or not. leaning towards "not"
November 12, 2026 at 3:14 PM
Affirmative. I just disconnected mine. Inner Brisbane.

Electrify everything. 🤟

I have dedicated a decade of my life to fighting gas, but I still care about keeping gas rates affordable, because some people who are not Financially Comfortable Thought Leaders will freeze to death when they can't afford to rapidly electrify or keep paying for gas. This is not complicated.

On a grid with clean energy ✅

EV that charges off peak ✅

Fridge that does stuff off peak✅

Soon to have a heat-pump water heater capable of performing big tasks off peak✅

Renewable, electrify, shift demand off peak 💪🏼
On an average grid with 42% clean electricity, EVs can already cut CO2 emissions in half while heat pumps by a third.

Countries at #COP31 can choose to #ElectrifyNow and unlock immediate benefits for the climate even in a fossil-dominant power system.

As a grid engineer I can only hope and agree to electrify as much as possible. Trucks will very quickly start replacing oil demand.
November 12, 2026 at 5:37 PM
Why electrify NOW?

NEW: 99% of the world's population live in countries where grid electricity ALREADY saves CO2 with an EV, compared to a petrol car. And 95% for heat pumps compared to a gas boiler.. 🧵

YOU USE DIESEL TRUCKS BECAUSE WE ALLOW IT. YOU WILL ELECTRIFY BECAUSE WE DEMAND IT
