But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

PJM is the biggest and the dirtiest grid in the United States
It has 122 gigawatts of combined coal and gas capacity
China built 93 gigawatts of solar just in May of this year
I'm about 2 months China could do what will take us decades to accomplish

Stunning!
China set a huge annual solar deployment record in 2023: ~216 GW
China smashed its huge 2023 solar record in 2024 by deploying 277 GW
Now China is crushing in 2025 its huge 2023 and 2024 solar deployment records.
China deployed 93 GW just in May & may deploy ~380 GW in 2025!
