After decades of solar PV deployment, the world crossed the 1 TW (a million MW) line in 2022. Just two years later, after adding 0.6 GW in 2024, we already crossed the 2 TW mark too!

It’s clear neither the media nor the average person even remotely understands the scope and magnitude of what is coming.
Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Hey Canadian media.
Pierre Poilievre is not a ‘firebrand’.
He’s a fringe politician who embraces extreme politics, has associated with extremist groups/individuals, has a 20+ years record of offensive & bigoted remarks.
Do not normalize this threat to Canada’s democracy.
