🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: 28% efficiency for tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells!

CEA, INES & WattByWatt just brought us closer to the next-gen of PV.
Scalable. Efficient. Game-changing.

Over the weekend, I listened to Doug Lewin's Energy Capital Podcast feat. Dan O’Brien (Energy Innovation).
⚠️ +50% in energy costs
⚠️ 100k clean energy jobs lost
⚠️ TX biz fleeing to states w/ renewables

Strong episode. Must-hear for anyone in energy or Texas policy.

ERCOT is seeing massive data center growth—but the grid wasn’t built for this kind of demand.

This is exactly why local generation and renewables matter. It’s not just about clean energy. It’s about keeping the lights on.

Data center activity ‘exploded’ in Texas, spiking reliability risks: monitor

AI data centers have power demand patterns similar to steel mills, with “very fast, very large ramps,” according to David Penny, director of reliability services for Texas RE. 

Utility Dive

The goal is clear: slow solar, inflate energy costs.

🛑 Gas turbines: 4x more expensive
📉 EPC lead times: 7+ yrs
⚡ Result: Higher electric bills for those without access to their own energy

Sad to see after 20 yrs of solar progress.
