Renewable energy passes 30% of world’s electricity supply | Renewable energy | The Guardian

Renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of the world’s electricity for the first time last year following a rapid rise in wind and solar power, according to new figures.

A report on the global power system has found that the world may be on the brink of driving down fossil fuel generation, even as overall demand for electricity continues to rise.

Rolling Blackouts by Hawaiian Electric

Hawaiian Electric avoided a second straight evening of rolling blackouts across Oahu on Tuesday, but the power shutoffs Monday substantiated prior concerns about the company’s shift to more renewable energy. https://bit.ly/48Ifa4h

Hawaiian Electric a second evening of rolling blackouts…

Disappointed by the false claims in this article about Oahu’s recent rolling blackouts and their cause – it’s time to set the record straight on Renewable Energy.

1️⃣ Don’t buy into the misinformation spread by the Fossil Fuel industry.
2️⃣ The truth? Renewable Energy stands out for its reliability.
3️⃣ Opting for decentralized power generation is the smart choice.

Don’t be swayed by misleading narratives. 🌿💡

Help Combat the Fossil Fuel and Defence Industries: Save Our Home Planet

“ECOCIDE”

is a word to describe what is happening to our planet; the mass damage and destruction of the natural living world. It literally means “killing one’s home”.
And right now, in most of the world, no-one is held responsible.

It’s time to change the rules. It’s time to protect our home.

We are working, together with a growing global network of lawyers, diplomats, and across all sectors of civil society, towards making ecocide an international crime.

This week the OECD has a once-in-a-decade chance to stop funding oil and gas — it’s time to step up

This week the OECD has a once-in-a-decade chance to stop funding oil and gas — it’s time to step up

By Sandrine Dixson-Declève, co-president of The Club of Rome and co-lead of the Earth4All initiative

07 November 2023 — This week, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is meeting in Paris for its annual forum. On the negotiating table is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to end the flow of public money into fossil fuels, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing about it.

The OECD is made up of a group of primarily wealthy countries, who collectively set their own standards around big global issues like tax, trade and the environment. Despite being one of the world’s most influential trade bodies, decisions at the OECD often happen behind closed doors. Members say that this allows them to get on with ‘building better policies for better lives‘ without distraction. The problem is that channelling billions of dollars of public money into fossil fuels each year doesn’t square with that aim.
