Chinese innovation on steroids: The Angry Clean Energy Guy on some pretty shockingly amazing announcements in the battery energy storage world from China, and on decisive progress on recycling batteries from the United States. Together, these guarantee that oil is on its way out of the transportation sector; that oil and gas are on their way out of electricity generation, forever, much earlier than people think; and that we will shrink the environmental footprint of energy - by exiting oil and gas and coal - by somewhere between 90% and 99%.  

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on two recent, and historic, renewable energy milestones many thought impossible. First, solar, wind and hydro power exceeded 100% of California's electricity demand on an almost daily basis over a sustained period of several weeks. Second, also in California, battery storage became for the first time ever the largest source of supply in the California grid. The evidence is incontrovertible: not only can we power entire countries with almost 100% renewable energy, but we will also get there faster than most people think. 

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the fraud that is plastic recycling,  perpetrated by Big Oil and their enablers; and on the emerging evidence that the health dangers of plastic - obfuscated for 50 years - could be life-threatening , including substantially raised risks of strokes, heart attacks and other nasty invasions of our bodies by Big Oil.  

 The Angry Clean Energy Guy's "Top 10 Good Climate News Stories of 2023" 

Disinformation, misinformation, deception and propaganda by Big Oil is rife. The number of oil trolls on my social media feeds - and those of so many other climate activists - has seen a remarkable increase, some collecting 1,000+.  The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the "Top 10 Disinformation Tag Lines" peddled by Big Oil trolls and bots, aided and abetted by some of the world's largest public relations firms and assorted politicians, lawyers and consultants on their payroll.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the need to tackle the fantastic quantities of waste and pollution from the healthcare sector - 5 to 7% of global emissions and 5th largest polluter if we thought of it as a country - and how the doctors, demigods everywhere, are in the process of being nudged to evolve to get to zero-waste and zero-emissions medicine. 

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the sheer quantity of drivel we're bring bombarded with about gas, (such as the world needing more affordable energy (read: gas); or how gas is part of a pragmatic approach to the energy transition; or using the words "low-carbon" in the context of energy systems); and how in reality, it's all deliberate propaganda orchestrated by dark organizations such as the "International Gas Union". Their global playbook of deception to lock-in fossil gas (and make a couple of bucks while setting fire to the world) has been exposed through their own incompetence: it was available on the International Gas Union's own website, by mistake, until the documents were removed six months later. 

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why our fossil fuel addiction consumes at least 535 times more mining than the renewables economy displacing it - and how we have already all the minerals we need to decisively transition to clean energy lifestyles and economies

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why South East Asia's clean energy future is here already, today: it's all happening, all one needs to see it is to take a quick tour of the behind-the-scenes, massive, renewable energy surge in Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Thailand. 

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why we have all the money in the world to pay for climate action right now (and where that money is), so why the hell are we not getting on with it. 

We need to talk about COP28, the 28th installment of the United Nations Climate Talks, which will take place in Dubai, UAE at the end of this year. For the first time ever, the CEO of an oil company - literally the constituency that must stop all new oil & gas and phase-down existing oil & gas - has been appointed as the President of a COP - literally the global forum which is supposed to phase-down the production of oil & gas. Does this mean that Big Oil has finally succeeded in completing its hijacking of the annual meeting of 198 countries to act on climate? Should the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat be going nuts about it and acting (fat chance, probably)? Or does fighting climate change require all hands on deck, as some prominent voices have argued? Listen, weep or cheer, and make up your own mind. Then do something about it.
