Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024.
A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.

The hydrogen bubble has burst.
Nearly 60 major low-carbon H₂ projects have been cancelled or paused — far more capacity than the world has actually built. The reason? Fundamentals still don’t add up:
• Demand isn’t there
• Costs remain high
• Infrastructure is missing

The report also rests on bad economic arguments. It assumes that all LNG projects currently under consideration get built. But currently, there’s a supply glut emerging in global LNG markets and cheap renewables are beating out fossil power at a blistering pace.
