- What's the trends for BEVs in China, Europe & USA? As @robertferry.bsky.social points out, China & Europe are now majority electric for new car sales. The US is another story. If the world shifts to Electric cars & US automakers are selling only fossil cars, what's likely to happen to them? 🧪☀️🔌💡💨💧🔋

- Reposted by Joseph D. OrtizNext time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

- When you install renewables, you reduce global demand for fossil fuels. In the 1st half of 2025, China installed 2x more solar than the rest of the world combined. China is also exporting most of the solar that the rest of the world is installing. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 a 🧵 electrek.co/2025/09/02/h...

- First rule of BlueSky. Do it feed the trolls. If you double down on misinformation when presented with reports, there’s no conversation to be had.

- Vehicle efficiency - Have you every wondered how much energy it takes to drive an EV or fossil fuel car the same distance? I worked out the math so you don't have to. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋, A 🧵
- EV update: For the temp range in NE Ohio, my 2020 Niro EV reaches its EPA stated annual average efficiency of 3.8 miles/kWh for a mix of city & highway driving. But what's the miles/kWh when driving w/ & w/out the heat pump? In this cold snap, I tested that so you don't have to! 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 a 🧵
