Solar+batteries is just going to win.

Solar is comparatively cheap. It's the easiest for power companies to deploy (~1 year vs. 5-10 years for conventional power plants). It's inexpensive to maintain. It's environmentally beneficial. And it can add value to farms by providing shade.

It's a winner

4GW of offshore wind projects are in the making in the coming few years.
1GW in a year.
Denmark plans to be a net exporter of green energy in the form of electricity, hydrogen and electro fuels in 2030

In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.
Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.”

As Filippo Grandi prepares to step down after a decade as UN high commissioner for refugees, he sees “a crisis of global leadership, a failure of imagination and ambition, and a proliferation of populist rhetoric that is numbing us to the plight of others,” he writes.

Beyond the appalling description of ICE holding cells, this ruling also catalogs ICE'S brazen defiance and contempt for the judge's orders. It's stunning and would cry out for congressional inquiry, if we had a Congress.
1/ A Trump-appointed federal judge, Gary R. Brown, ordered the immediate release on bail of a noncitizen and directed the government to show cause why it should not be held in contempt over ICE’s repeated failures to follow court orders.

The Trump administration celebrated Christmas on Thursday by posting a series of religious messages from official government accounts, using language that drew criticism from those who pointed to America's separation of church and state.
Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages
Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.

I’ve been worried about this. People who signed up for a US ‘self-deportation’ scheme say their payoffs were delayed, misdirected or never arrived – leaving them empty-handed in their home countries.
