The more we decarbonize, the more power we take away from the GOP.

The US saw solar power generation grow by 21.6% over the last year, with 26 states outpacing the national average. Among these, a group of 15 states achieved remarkable growth of over 50%, led by some surprising players.

I've now successfully electrified my car, mower, snow blower, power washer and house. All of this is 100% solar charged. I make a large enough surplus that the utility even cuts me an annual check because I put more into the grid than I use. The cash I'm saving is insane, and my 2017 solar energy system hit ROI in 2023. #solar #renewables #solarpower #cleanenergy
My hobby: trolling the solar industry by, for example, accurately describing SEG Solar, whose website says "Born and Raised in the USA" as "a US firm spun out of Chinese Jiangsu Seraphim in 2023".

For perspective - 13 million barrels is 26% of today’s roughly 50 million barrels of oil used for transportation daily.

California ISO had connected 10.219 GW of utility-scale battery energy storage to its grid as of 10/01/24: https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2024/10/11/california-installs-10-gw-of-utility-scale-batteries/ via John Fitzgerald Weaver
California installs 10 GW of utility-scale batteries

CAISO set a new peak battery discharge record of 8.3 GW on October 9, as the state’s future EIA energy storage queue holds 177 GW of capacity, with 1.9 GW expected added through the end of the year.

After Vestas' 15 MW offshore wind turbine, we've seen Chinese manufacturers take the lead with wind turbines of up to 20 MW. Now Dongfang Electric makes another leap:
26 MW offshore wind turbine rolls off its production line in Fuzhou, Fujian, China. Rotor diameter: 310 meters!

Good to see the Netherlands on #2 with 77% #wind and #solar electricity by 2030!
Between Denmark and Germany.

The Republicans denied and continued to deny climate change for decades. Two weeks ago, 82 of them refused to vote new money for FEMA. DeSantis refused to take calls from the White House about emergency aid for Florida. Now GOP leader Mike Johnson refuses to call Congress back into session to vote for more disaster aid.
The GOP will do anything to make it look like the government doesn't work, including sabotaging it.
Vote Blue.
