Another big developing country travelling the coal to renewables journey. The Ukraine war LNG pinch taught them they cannot rely on it, & instead we're seeing a huge renewable build out (mainly solar) balanced by far more flexible coal utlization than anticipated. h/t @justinmikulka.bsky.social
India's coal utilisation is set to decline as renewables increasingly meet power demand.
MORE THAN A THIRD of India’s coal assets will run below 40% utilisation by 2032. Expensive plants running above INR 3/kWh risks becoming underutilised or going idle.

Former Oilers assistant coach Paul Coffey reportedly ‘butted heads’ with other members of coaching staff
When the Edmonton Oilers opened the 2025-26 season a little over one month ago, the primary point of concern was whether the team’s goaltending duo could be good enough to get them over the hump. Now sitting with a mediocre 9-8-4 record at the quarter-mark of the campaign, that concern has ballooned from run-of-the-mill goaltending…

P.S. Ukraine just struck Russia with American ATACMS missiles.

Paintearth County is currently receiving $5.3 million annually from renewable projects. But cancelled projects in the area represent $14.2 million in lost potential revenue, nearly three times what it is getting now.
