Three classes in, and while my instructor Ella keeps telling me, “You are doing so well,” the fact I still can’t swim, or that my limbs refuse to follow instructions, was starting to erode my confidence.

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.
Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)
We hope this news brings a smile!
