34% of all electricity on Earth is generated in China.
Solar is the 2nd largest source so far this year at 13% of China's total supply. https://t.co/wAtoAHvUCB

For electricity generation in Texas (primarily the ERCOT grid, which covers ~90% of the state’s load), the most recent complete full-year figures are for 2025. Natural gas remained the largest source, followed by wind, with solar surpassing coal as the third-largest source for

This may sound crazy but it’s not.
Prices should reflect real costs, and the real cost of electricity during solar hours is a lot closer to zero than $0.40/kWh.
Current rates disincentivize consumption when power is cheap, and subsidize it when it’s expensive.
That distortion

1,000 kWh ≈ $1,000 GDP
Harnessing just 1% of the energy in Earth's sunlight will transform the world more dramatically than the Industrial Revolution.
The original version of this chart from @OurWorldInData is a great illustration of the transformative power of energy. I've http

If God wanted us to build Type 1 Civilization, he would have:
1. put a giant fusion reactor in the sky
(emitting blackbody radiation around 5800 K)
2. made 28% of Earth's crust out of a semiconductor with a matching bandgap (~1.1 eV or so)
3. filled the oceans with an alkali htt
