Shout-out to global RE bubble collapse; to demographics.

If PPP doesn't go up, then demographics must🫣, or else dilution (currency, bonds, equities, crypto, institutions 😅) will eat everything. Extensive stagnation where the Red Queen eats err'thing😈🫳🏾 Here too, it's best when both things are true at the same time (i.e. win+win). That both PPP and demographics increase sustainably, will only ever happen when innovation and creativity and cooperation is accurately present.

Imho (good luck with all that 😅 try to be nice🤣, it's literally encoded for within the wetware 😈🖕🏾)

Vroom vrrom??🙃😅🫱🏾 It's all very, Very sensitive 🫳🏾 VERY sensitive business; humanity is...⌛🫲🏾

In a first, Germany drew more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.

Together, wind and solar generated 44 percent of Germany’s electricity, while fossil fuels generated roughly 43 percent, according to data from the Energy Institute, a think tank based in London. The figures represent a major milestone for the German “Energiewende,” or “energy turnaround,” a national push to ramp up renewable energy and phase out gas, coal, and nuclear power.

Germany shut down its last remaining nuclear power plants in 2023. It is aiming to wean off of coal power by 2038, though experts say it will likely achieve that goal much sooner. By 2045, its target date for net zero emissions, Germany plans to convert any remaining gas-fired power plants to green hydrogen.

Aiding the buildout of wind and solar is an effort to simplify permitting for renewable energy projects. German officials have digitized permitting, streamlined approvals, and declared clean energy to be of “overriding public interest,” a designation that lends projects protection from legal challenges.

Germany has the third largest economy in the world, after the U.S. and China, and the largest economy in Europe. Its embrace of renewable energy has helped push the E.U. toward cleaner power. Last year, for the first time, the bloc saw wind and solar overtake fossil fuels, according to data from energy think tank Ember. Wind and solar generated 30 percent of E.U. power in 2025, while fossil fuels generated 29 percent, and nuclear and hydropower supplied most of the rest.

Russian crude processing fell to its lowest level in more than two decades in July after Ukraine expanded its drone campaign from refineries to tankers, pipelines and export infrastructure, according to The Moscow Times, citing Bloomberg analysis.

Russian refineries processed an estimated 3.6 million barrels per day in July, the lowest monthly level since May 2002 and roughly one-third below the seasonal average. Between 2020 and 2025, Russian refineries typically processed between 5.3 million and 5.6 million barrels per day during the same period.

Ukraine struck 18 Russian refineries in July, surpassing the previous monthly record of 17 attacks set in May. Targets included the 440,000-barrel-per-day Omsk refinery, Russia’s largest, more than 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Ukrainian drones also struck five large oil tankers, five pieces of port infrastructure and two pipelines during the month. Bloomberg counted 30 attacks on Russia’s oil infrastructure in July, the second-highest monthly total since the full-scale invasion began.

Ukrainian forces concentrated on refineries during the first half of July before moving against tankers and export logistics later in the month. Refinery strikes resumed during the final week, with three large plants hit during the last three days of July and four more attacked over the weekend, according to Sergei Vakulenko of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center.

Last week, Russia extended its ban on most diesel and gasoline exports to prevent domestic shortages as refinery outages reduced fuel production. Reduced processing has also forced producers to export larger volumes of crude oil, increasing pressure on ports and tanker fleets already disrupted by Ukrainian strikes.

Bloomberg reported that only four tankers loaded crude at Novorossiysk during the week ending July 26, down from seven and eight during the previous two weeks. Jorge Leon, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad Energy, said Russia can reroute some crude through Baltic ports, though pipeline, storage and tanker capacity is insufficient to replace all Black Sea export volumes.

"Vroom-vroom MFS 😅"

Australia’s rooftop solar market continues its record-breaking run, riding the coat-tails of the federal Cheaper Home Batteries scheme to cap off its highest January–July tally on record for new installations.

According to the latest report from industry analyst SunWiz, Australian homes and businesses installed another 339.2 megawatts (MW) of new rooftop solar in July 2026 – not a record month, and 22 per cent below April’s all-time record of 432 MW, but comfortably above the long-run trend of about 285 MW.

“2026 continues to be a record year for PV,” says SunWiz managing director Warwick Johnston. “Despite the slowdown from April, monthly volumes remain at record levels [and the] PV market continues to be heavily influenced by the Cheaper Home Battery Program.”

As you can see in the charts below, total volume of new capacity installed so far for the year is running 43 per cent ahead of the same time in 2025 and the total volume for July has charted a 6 per cent increase on the figures in June.

The influence of the home battery rebate – which SunWiz says is prompting many households to either take the plunge into rooftop PV for the first time, or to upgrade their systems to better match the storage capacity of their discounted batteries – is evident in the data from the 10-15 kW system size segment.

SunWiz’s July data shows that the 10-15 kilowatt (kW) band remains the largest segment at 122.6 MW (~36% of the July total), followed by 6–8 kW at 60 MW and 15-20 kW at 45.3 MW.

“Though volumes of 10-15 kW PV systems have dropped from their peak, that segment has stabilised at highly elevated volumes,” Johnston says.

Combined 20–100 kW volume reached roughly 46 MW in July 2026, up from June’s 41 MW, but well off April’s peak of 64 MW.

On the larger end of the scale, the 75-100 kW segment posted a “notable” month-on-month gain to 13.4 MW, hinting at some movement from commercial and industrial customers, perhaps following the recent changes to the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) in NSW.

From state to state, SunWiz says growth was broad-based in July, with only the ACT and Tasmania pulling back slightly from their June numbers.

On system size, the national average remains at around the 10 kW mark in July, well below April’s peak of 11.3 kW and December’s high of 11.47 kW.

And yet 🫳🏾 you can bet the Democrats will berate, deny, and mock, batteries and AI and the actual and potential solutions that result 🫲🏾 Useless 😂 almost as if they're complicit 🙃

Note 2

Even Trump shows a temporary sourness for oil and gas profits - of his own making 🤭 Seems to me, opportunity calls. Yet again.

Meanwhile 🫳🏾 Democrats ≈ 🤪😩🙈

That oil and gas make too much money, seems a great opportunity to suggest sharing: subsidies waiting to be swapped 🙃 n'est pas?

A message to Democrats: support batteries and AI 🫲🏾😅FFS... Da f@k's wrong with you🙃? Ludditism is not an ideal platform. Definitely not one that suggests a hopeful future civilization. Shirley you understand this?

Things in need of support:

Home batteries (subsidies required: remove oil and gas subsidies (gradually)🫲🏾‼️: apply to home batteries and battery Infrastructure build-out (ASAP))

AI (artificial intelligence is the future and the present. No matter how confused you are about the technology, we assure you that you are indeed confused and require the technology for all of your future efforts 🫳🏾 ALL). Wake-the-f@k-up‼️

Cannabis reform (cannabis reform signals larger medical and research testing reforms. Including psychedelics and AI infused clinical trial testing and product discovery. It's quite important 🫲🏾 please, wake the f@k up🙃)
