IEA said in 2010 410 GW of solar would globally operate in 2035. In 2025, there's four times that amount of solar globally. Small solar (<1 MW) was 42% of global solar deployment in 2024, up from 22% in 2015. Trump/MAGA war on solar will fail! ft.com/content/c4068478-c091…

Trump climate denial is putting America behind the rest of the world!

The forecasted growth is most likely underestimated. The spin-off industries, innovation rate, and scalability flexibility are hard to factor.

I feel we should recognise IEA’s commitment to producing comedy graphs The IEA’s projections have been consistent, always absurdly wrong I admire their remarkable consistency & utter absence of shame

Your advocacy does not do what you think it does... Your evidence literally promotes a scorched earth policy. Where has your environmental sensibility gone? You have disconnected from physical reality...

Can't lose. Just don't pay any subsidies, then the whole thing will quickly die out on its own.

MAGA isn’t fighting solar, economics and geography is.

@grok, list the top 20 solar cos. Stock symbols and prices.
Replying to @johnrhanger
So why are we still dependent on the superior product, fossil fuels? You’re saying we have 4 times the cheaper renewable energy we need but our bills keep rising. Please explain

And how does the business case for an aluminum smelter running on solar look? Come on, tell us!

I wonder why these images of solar farms blanketing the ground, instead of sideways shots showing all the wildlife beneath are always used to depict it. Regardless, great progress.
Replying to @johnrhanger
solar is garbage and expensive.

There's no war on solar from the administration.They're pushing for nuclear , which is the best option. Do you know how small of an area the total US spent nuclear fuel covers? Rather small , when you think about it , a football field , thirty feet deep.
Replying to @johnrhanger
Deployment is fine. Now give us the data for solar GENERATION. A very different picture.
Replying to @johnrhanger
Solar will faill solar. By 2035 nearly all that solar you mention will be up for replacement. At that point facts will prevail and the green grift will end.
Replying to @johnrhanger
4x but you left the important part out

At economy wrecking disruption to farmland & deindustrialising economies at benefit of countries not attempting to adopt the national suicide pact of Net Zero. Yes solar & subsidies is great for those making it. Lets see the solar panel leeching landfills in another 10 yrs.👏👏

Everyone screams about three mile island but the radiation release was insignificant
Replying to @johnrhanger
Wow a mountain plastered with solar panels and turbines all going in the trash bin in 15-20 years while providing intermittent low quality power.
