Bunch of clean energy firsts across the US this spring! ๐๐ฌโก๏ธ
- solar outpacing coal
- solar+batteries living up to hype in California, NY, TX
- individual/rooftop solar adding up to a lot, even where gov is stopping large-scale solar

Reports of clean energy's death are greatly exaggerated ๐
"Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US โ despite Trump:
Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries."
What else is there to say?

Global clean energy transition is "inevitable" ๐
Despite ๐ and other backlash.
Even using model with slower adoption of EVs!
Driven by rapid adoption in developing world.

Plug-in "balcony" solar takes off in US? ๐
12 states in talks +
Bill being introduced in PA +
NH and VT working on laws +
UT (yes!) has passed law allowing it
Small systems plug into reg elec outlet, make small amt of pwr.
Current cost = $2k, with payback of 5 years.

By 2028, solar will provide more US electricity than coal. ๐
Lots of new solar coming online, no new coal pwr plants, many coal plants closing.
Natural gas remains top electricity source in US.

"U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after"
Solar and wind represent about 11% to 12% of the energy mix each, while coal sits just under 15%. Developers brought online 16 GW of solar out of a total 21.5 GW electric generation capacity cumulatively added through July in 2025, said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. There is currently about 5 GW more wind than solar actively deployed in the United States.
