“We still think of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines as ‘alternative energy,’ as if they were the Whole Foods of power, nice but pricey. In fact—and more so with each passing month—they are the Costco of energy, inexpensive and available in bulk.”| @billmckibben.bsky.social @scifri.bsky.social
Solar Energy Is Not Just Good For The Earth—It’s Practical
“Solar and wind power are almost too cheap for our economy,” says author Bill McKibben, arguing the switch from fossil fuels must happen soon.

Among all the big bad things happening on our planet, there's one Big Good Thing, the sudden, startling rise of solar energy.
It changes the power dynamic, in every sense of the word 'power.'

Considering solar panels? A @berkeleylab.lbl.gov study found that solar + storage systems can provide full backup to critical loads (refrigeration, lighting, and communication devices) during outages lasting up to three days, depending on the system’s capacity. #RenewableEnergy
Building Resilience With Solar Panels and Battery Backup

We’ve already been seeing this development in Central Oregon. A major win!
Good morning with good news: ~94% of new US electricity generation capacity in 2025 will be utility-scale solar, rooftop/small solar, wind & battery storage!
Utility-scale (63 GW) plus small solar (~9 GW) will total ~72 GW of new generation. Huge!

Some good news:
"Last year, solar and battery storage installation led capacity growth within Texas’ electric grid, according to research from the Federal Reserve Bank... The capacity growth from solar and battery storage allowed the grid to manage another hot Texas summer in 2024.'

More Solar and Battery Storage Were Added to Texas’ Grid Than Any Other Power Source Last Year - Inside Climate News
Texas has become one of the nation’s frontrunners in developing renewable energy. In recent years, the state’s reign came from wind power coupled with utility-scale solar.
