Renewables dominate 2025's newly installed generating capacity
> And solar power accounted for about three quarters of the renewables.
Sunny day today 😎
Our panels were producing lots of power today. I charged all the things, did laundry, and more. Still sent 25 kWh of excess power to the grid.
I spent 4 days learning to keep people alive in the backcountry when help is far away.
It’s a heavy responsibility, but building these skills brings a new kind of confidence and humility.

Renewables turn LNG glut into a sinkhole
