      Such good news: "the current fossil fuel system runs at a loss, and will amass losses every year." The world's 8th largest bank, BNP Paribas, says: "The economics of renewables are impossible for oil to compete with when looked at over the cycle." Read their report. 1/https://twitter.com/GregorMacdonald/status/1158763843708805120 …

      I must congratulate Mark and the team at BNP Paribas. Explaining how the current fossil fuel system runs at a loss, and will amass losses every year, is not easy. But Mark has come up with some very elegant framings. This is Topic #1 now. This is everything. cc @mattyglesias https://twitter.com/MCL1965/status/1158652187754606593 …

      Simply glorious news. 👇 "Even if we add in the cost of building new network infrastructure to come with all the new wind and/or solar capacity implied by replacing gasoline with renewables and EVs, the economics of renewables still crush those of oil." #CarbonBubble *Crack!*

      Yup: “The economics of oil for gasoline and diesel vehicles versus wind- and solar-powered EVs are now in relentless and irreversible decline, with far-reaching implications for both policymakers and the oil majors.” #CarbonBubble

          Oil demand peaking in 2020s means a huge amount of money is at risk. The question is: when will financial markets wake up? Or as @MCL1965 of banking giant BNP Paribas put it: "How much longer can Wile E Coyote keep walking out on thin air over the gulch before he looks down?"pic.twitter.com/irvegiVcbW

          The largest bank in the Eurozone (8th largest in the world) has damning news for oil sector: "Oil is finished; EVs+renewables are 6x more cost-effective" Again, this is a *banking giant* talking. Report doesn't even consider climate or health benefits. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/major-bank-oil-is-finished-evsrenewables-are-6x-more-cost-effective/ …

          If I was an oil exec, I'd either be terrified OR continue proclaiming, "everything is fine!" to the great peril of shareholders and the world economy. @MCL1965 reminds us of the billions lost in the European utility industry when demand for thermal electricity peaked in 2007:pic.twitter.com/uFsHvratiz
