Sean CastenDon't pay attention to the noise from the White House. It's very clear that markets and consumers vastly prefer lower cost energy sources that hedge fossil fuel price volatility. 88% of all new generation added in the US last year. https://electrek.co/2026/04/01/ferc-renewables-made-up-88-of-new-us-power-generating-capacity-in-2025/
Robin Barton@SeanCasten Ironically, King Trump's war in Iran has probably done much to help the growth of Green Tech

Solar farms and wind farms (and associated energy-storage) also are much quicker to roll out than fossil fuel generative-capacity (and quicker, still, than nuclear).

Stingray Villa Cozumel@SeanCasten we added 3750 watts at our house in Cozumel Mexico
GhostOnTheHalfShellI’m always going to step in in comments like this to point out that the cheapest energy is the stuff we never have to dig up or burn. This means that measures that eliminate the need to burn energy are by far the least expensive and most beneficial measures.
For example, walkable neighborhoods and mixed use zoning which eliminate the necessity of driving to accomplished daily activities. Some people freak out and think that’s banning cars, but it’s making them completely optional.
