[GWSG] Ritchie foresees renewables to succeed; IEA agrees, 90% by 2030; coal beaten; Aussies 77% renewed

[Tilley, Al]

1. Hannah Ritchie says in an interview with Yale Environment 360 why she believes that the energy transition and the attempts to cope with the climate crisis generally promise to succeed in spite of, and even a bit because of the US attempts at sabotage. https://e360.yale.edu/features/hannah-ritchie-interview
2. The International Energy Agency’s 2025 report supports Hannah Ritchie’s arguments. The IEA projects that renewable energy will reach 90% of global capacity by 2030. The Executive Summary: https://www.iea.org/reports/renewables-2025/executive-summary
3. This year, for the first time, solar and wind provided more power than did coal. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/07/global-renewable-energy-generation-surpasses-coal-first-time
4. Last month, for half an hour, Australia’s power use was 77% renewable. Market forces could lead to steady 100% renewable power in the 2030s, according to the CEO of the agency managing the country’s energy market. One tool would repurpose gas plants as hybrid energy sources to stabilize the grid when it is stressed.  https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/australia-aims-all-renewables-no-coal?amp%3Butm_medium=email&amp%3Butm_campaign=canary&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8bvyc051ell8t4uStH1JDIER3Q1RZBa1kYpcjqnVxECr-hekfVTzLifHlNDy-Y7TfUiiHUkjcYeN0KkcBpB83f4e0jMg&_hsmi=383846376&utm_source=newsletter
