In this edition, Mick emphasises the importance of realism and grace in climate action, arguing that imperfect efforts still count in a fuelled world. Reflecting on personal choices and public figures like Mike Cannon-Brookes, he contends that "climate hypocrisy" is unavoidable but shouldn't stall progress. The newsletter also features community insights, highlights from climate tech—including Nourish Ingredients’ precision fermentation breakthrough—and a roundup of events, funding, and jobs. It concludes with a spotlight on how AI is transforming battery technology for the clean energy future.

Onvol's innovative device converts motion into electricity, endlessly powering sensors that provide protection and condition monitoring of assets like wind turbines.
