That's more than the total EU solar capacity as of 2024 (338 GW) and DOUBLE the total US solar capacity (229 GW).

In 2024, #ArcelorMittal invested 4.4 billion USD in capex & 1.3 billion USD in “strategic growth”, but only 0.3 billion USD, less than 7% of the capex, went to investment in decarbonisation 🤯This is according to its very own 2024 Q4 earnings release.

Hi Bluesky 👋 We’re SteelWatch, an international organisation pushing for serious #ClimateAction in the #SteelIndustry.
Producing steel creates 11% of global CO2 emissions each year, mainly because most of it is made with coal.

80% of Australia’s gas is exported. They are draining the system to the point we need to start importing gas, and they price gouge us for the remaining 20%.

It seems their "disruption" is just trying to speed up self-publishing (in a way that won't work well, and of course, they don't want to call it that - and also, screw the book cover artists, translators etc because obviously there is no human skill in that 🤦)
