"What 2025 Perovskite Breakthroughs Mean for 2026” [ ± 1-3 min]

How Solar Changed in 2025 (And What's Next). I called 2024 the year of perovskite. But 2025? This was the year perovskites went from "interesting lab tech" to "you can actually buy these." Oxford PV shipped the first commercial batch to a US solar farm. California startups landed major infrastructure deals. And Chinese manufacturers started licensing the technology for mass production. More importantly, researchers solved problems that have plagued perovskites for years. We got self-healing materials that repair damage from heat and moisture. Cooling systems that boost efficiency by over 12%. And manufacturing techniques that broke the 34% efficiency barrier, which shatters silicon's theoretical 30% limit. So let's recap what actually happened this past year, what it means for solar's future, and what breakthroughs to watch for in 2026.“

We join Maspo Energy at their facility in the Alaşehir Valley in western Türkiye to find out how Geothermal power plants operate and the benefits they can provide.“

Quote by ie, the longer version:
“Dec 14, 2025
Deep beneath the Earth's surface lies an extraordinary and often overlooked force: geothermal energy.
This documentary-style video explores how geothermal systems work, how heat from the Earth is transformed into electricity, and why this renewable source is becoming essential in today’s energy transition.
In this video, you will discover:
• How geothermal fluid forms miles underground
• The journey of heat through production wells and power cycles
• How binary-cycle technology converts geothermal heat into electricity
• The roles of the vaporizer, heat exchangers, turbines, condensers, and SCADA systems
• Why geothermal provides stable 24/7 power — unlike solar or wind
• Why Türkiye is rapidly emerging as a global hotspot for geothermal innovation
Geothermal energy is one of the few renewable resources capable of delivering continuous, reliable, and low-emission power.
The technical insights and data featured here are informed by field studies and research from industry practitioners working across Türkiye’s geothermal sector. (Including contributions from MASPO’s engineering and R&D teams.)
If you're curious about the future of clean energy and how geothermal might reshape the global power landscape, this video is a must-watch.”

How is it to be ‘the biggest in the world’ [US} to be left behind.
To be drifting into ‘the biggest loser of the world’ ? No matter… you’re still going to just take it, right ? Those days are gone.
I, for one, applaud African nations going real independent, leaving ages of colonialism and exploitation behind, and going strong.

“Nov 23, 2025
There is a quiet revolution happening across the vast content of Africa. Imports of solar PV panels jumped 60% in the 12 months to June 2025. Millions of microgrids and individual solar installations are now driving the electrification of just about every African nation. But fossil fuels still dominate most existing utility scale grids. So, can the people of Africa by pass the centralised monopolies and drive their own renewable prosperity. Because if they can, they might just save all of us!“

Several ‘American react’ video’s common first reaction was pointing out the chaos in Germany’s Europe. But after a while the reaction become more sensible like: we DO need a car for everything [Duh} and it IS expensive infrastructure.
All because the industry was/is successful in promoting the car as symbol of ‘freedom’.
It’s time for those Americans to come to their senses. They do want to live over there… or do they ?
Time for change. Time to learn. But that's not their strong suit, is it ?

We often talk about the future, but real change begins with the actions we take in the present. The environment young people inherit depends on the decisions made today by communities, leaders, and each of us individually. What is one environmental change you believe could have the biggest long-term impact?

Beware this is 1) a long video but 2) well worth it.
When discussing the #EnergyTransition people often simplify the general, all important, topic: DEPENDABLE energy systems. What’s the use of ‘clean’ energy if it shuts down every time.
Bearing in mind that it’s all about a transition [changing, evolving and improving] with a end goal still undetermined. Just abolishing one source and hallowing another is too easy [and it never is]. It will take a enormous effort, research [and money] to reach the end goal.
I don’t have to stress the urgency to reach the goal. ‘We’ [humanity] have been procrastinating the inevitable so long that the goal is the only solution against suffocation, is the transition to a clean source of the energy to drive ‘our’ civilization.

You may want to react with that the video is about Australia. Don’t ! ‘cause it is.
I share it only to suggest solutions on the integration. Like Flinders Island [Dutch ‘vlinders’ transl as butterflies].
In my mind ‘we’ should
* all make our own energy, depending only on the grid in an emergency.
* use every possibility of clean energy
* decentralize the political power of the main energy suppliers. Undermine the monopoly !
* we can’t burn things anymore

Put some critical thinking into it in stead of saying ‘can’t’ or ‘ney’ or other dumb shit.
Cause if you don’t think, you’re not worthy of the power.

"How One Nation Cut Its Coal Dependence Faster Than Anyone Expected” [3:10 min]
by Positive Climate News

youtube.com/watch?v=GgCGWGfaADw

Quote by PCN:
“Nov 28, 2025
A country once almost entirely dependent on coal is now undergoing one of the fastest clean-energy transitions anywhere in Europe. In this episode of Positive Climate News, we explore how a former coal stronghold is rapidly transforming its electricity grid — cutting fossil fuels, scaling wind and solar, and accelerating its path toward a cleaner future.
Coal has plunged from overwhelming dominance to record lows. Meanwhile, wind and solar have surged nearly tenfold in just a decade. Policy changes, new investments, and a booming industrial base are reshaping this nation’s energy system far faster than most people realize.
And the best part?
This transition is still speeding up.“
