The Angry Clean Energy Guy reveals how the onslaught of attacks on clean energy in the United States is fueled by vindictiveness and greed, not facts, and exposes the groups behind the hostility.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the space race of this century: becoming a solar superpower. Humanity is moving into an unprecedented era of energy super-abundance which is going to be all about harnessing terawatts of solar energy; TW-scale solar manufacturing and TWh-scale battery manufacturing. After all, total energy consumption globally today is about 16TW, while right above our heads the Sun is delivering 173,000 TW of energy to Earth continuously, over 10,000 times greater than what we are currently using. And it's all there for the taking by those countries that achieve solar superpower status - with almost any and all countries in contention. The global order is on its way to be potentially dramatically re-shuffled.

On Monday, 28 April 2025, a major power blackout occurred across the Iberian Peninsula affecting Portugal and Spain. The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the history of blackouts since the 1960's; why we won't know the cause for months or even years; the solutions we are literally drowning in; and how the ultimate cure is to go bigger and faster on solar and batteries. 

We are in the midst of an organised assault on climate action, climate science, the environment, diversity, equity and inclusion and more generally, on decency, equality and morality.  The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the "passwords" which may help to understand the "why"; and how this assault is destined to fail. 

Recently, President Trump apparently sought to stop wind power expansion in the US and withdrew from the Paris agreement, in a barrage of orders aimed at boosting fossil fuels and reverse policies that address climate change. 

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why it's very good news that the United States is withdrawing from the Paris agreement (don't worry about it); and why the global energy transition is not something President Trump or anyone else is going to stop. 

The Angry Clean Energy Guy's Top 10 Good Climate News Stories of 2024

On Monday 2 December 2024, the mother of all climate lawsuits began at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Unprecedented, it's also the largest ever case seen by the world court, with a record number of 97 States and 11 international organizations speaking in the oral proceedings. The ICJ is being asked to provide clarity on international law with respect to climate change.

The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why what the ICJ says could change the world.

You may have heard that a "nuclear renaissance" is gathering pace, driven most recently by something called “small modular reactors” or SMRs. Apparently, SMRs are going to be ubiquitous everywhere and are going to play a key part in decarbonization. The Angry Clean Energy Guy on why this isn't going to happen; and why all this talk about SMRs (and it's mostly talk) pushes back the era of energy abundance which we are on the cusp of, by diverting capital which would have been much better spent on a faster deployment of renewable energy: solar, wind and batteries.

On 14 June 2024, a major oil spill blackened Singapore's coastline, after yet another shipping accident which punctured the oil tank of a fuel ship and spilled at least 400 tons of oil, with large quantities washing ashore.  This episode of the Angry Clean Energy Guy is the beginning of a ten-part series on the history of fossil fuels in South-East Asia, and how the region will shake-off this last remnant of its colonial history - fossil fuels - to get rid of oil spills once and for all; achieve energy independence; strengthen national security; improve the energy efficiency of buildings, vehicles, appliances, and electronics; and protect and enhance the health of all citizens in this process.

 The Angry Clean Energy Guy on the depravity at the heart of climate finance: those who set the house on fire (rich nations) are lining up outside to sell fire extinguishers, or loan them with interest, to the occupants who need them (poorer nations) - and in the process often saddling these occupants with debts, or worse, taking whatever furniture, savings or cash they have left.
