Big news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.

Graph showing global electricity from renewables vs coal for H1 of 2019 through 2025, in TWh. Moving from 3400 vs 4500 TWh in 2019 to 5100 vs 4900 TWh in 2025: lines crossing.
My Ecofys blog post of 12 December 2016:
When will renewables overtake coal in generated electricity?

ending in:

The resulting share of renewables in 2015 global electricity production was 23%, according to IEA. For coal this was around 40%. IEA expects the share of renewables to grow at almost 1 percentage point per year, to 28% by 2021, and IEA has a track record of being on the conservative side here.

En 2018, un verdict belge semblait enfin mettre fin Š une affaire vieille de 20 ans.
En 2025, certaines indemnisations sont toujours en suspens.
Pendant ce temps, en France, l’enquête OKC/Spatz — rouverte officiellement en 2021 — n’a toujours pas abouti.
Cela interroge :

I watched E.T. (1982) recently. I remember seeing it as a kid but couldn't remember much except "phone home". I didn't like the child actors to be honest but the rubber puppet worked so well when it was lying on its "death bed" 😭
Surprised by the swear words they used though. Shit, dick....🫢 I wanted to see what the neighbourhood looks like today as it was a newly built suburbia in 1982. Turns out, somebody already did the research!
