1. EV sales are headed for another record year. Despite the headlines to the contrary, global EV sales continue to grow and are set to rise about 20% this year. combustion vehicle sales peaked in 2017 and have no real route back to that peak.

A reminder: energy isn't just electricity.
Many countries have done well to decarbonise the tip of the energy iceberg - electricity.
The hard bit is what's below the tip of the iceberg - heat, cooling and transport.

How close is Germany to meeting its 2030 targets for the energy transition?

Renewables are unstoppable now.
More than 80% of new global capacity additions in 2021 were from solar (50%) wind (25%) & hydro (7%) compared to only 15% fossil generation provided by gas (11%) & coal (4%).

The two parties have each been overrun by corporate interests. There needs to be a new third party - and a system that allows for more dynamism and points-of-view to emerge and compete.

France 🇫🇷 is facing problems with its aging ☢️ power plants (~30 % are down) and has to import electricity. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Germany 🇩🇪 has planned for the retirement of old ☢️ plants, has already more than replaced them with renewables and is exporting power to 🇫🇷. 1/4

We’ve been trying to get you all comfortable with EVs for a while now, but maybe we were just speaking the wrong language.

If we would hold a minute of silence for every victim of the holocaust, the world would be quiet for 11 years. #WeRemember
Würde man für jedes Opfer des Holocaust eine Schweigeminute halten, wäre die Welt 11 Jahre lang still. #WeRemember

3. Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien auf mindestens 255 GW in 2030. 24/7 Grünstrom durch schnelleren Netzausbau.

2. Subventionen für fossile Kraftstoffe beenden. Ausstieg aus der Kohle deutlich vorziehen.

1. CO2-Preis von 65€ pro Tonne schon in 2024. Nur spürbare Maßnahmen bringen die Dekarbonisierung voran.
