    And, despite all UK govt efforts for new nuclear and shale gas, it’s renewables that keep growing, providing 1/3 of UK electricity production in 2018, with over half of that from wind.

    This is about 0.05% of the total number of jobs in Germany.

    German chancellor Merkel starting to involve herself in the country's coal exit. Brown coal (lignite) states demanding financial aid of €3 million per coal job that will be lost. I'd say the miners would be happy with €1 million each ;)

    NL emissions per kWh of electricity slowly coming down from their 2015 peak again, now some old coal-fired power plants were closed and renewables grow. Will accelerate from next year, when new offshore wind farms start to come online. Graph: !

    However, this does not mean that batteries will be the technology of choice for longer term energy storage. While solar PV can already compete with gas-fired power, battery storage capacity still is thousands of times as expensive as gas storage.

    The moment Mr Trump declares a “national emergency” - a decision that is entirely within his discretion - he is able to set aside many of the legal limits on his authority.

    That's a compound annual price reduction rate of 21%, maintained over an 8-year period! In energy technology, only solar PV comes close.

    Assuming the 49,000 full-electric cars now on Dutch roads* use 2,500 kWh/year each (good for 12,500-15,000 km), they have driven up national electricity demand by ~0.1% *mostly parked, like all other cars ;)

    Last year, 24,000 full-electric cars were sold in NL; that’s a market share of 5.4%. Brings total number on the road to 49,000 = 0.6% of total passenger car fleet.

    Annual capacity factors of Danish offshore wind farms: 40-50% for the newer ones.

    Worth noting that heatwaves don’t just happen on land. There’s one going on underwater right now too.

    Trump repeats his false claim that "China is paying us tremendous tariffs." While many Chinese manufacturers eat some of the tariff costs, they are paid by American importers of Chinese products.

    That’s true, but sorry , 520 GW by 2050 for the world as a whole is an incredibly low estimate. We’ll need 230 GW just for NW-Europe, by 2045! And in NL, we’re aiming for 11.5 GW by 2030.

    China’s latest giant solar PV power plant. Produces electricity for €0.042/kWh. 20 years ago, 500 MW was all the world had, in total!
