These numbers are just bonkers.
For reference, global electricity consumption is about 18-20 TW, total. So even when you factor in the capacity factor, 1.5 TW of new solar panels per year, every year, is so much that if you’d forecasted this a decade ago, everyone would’ve thought you barking mad.

"China's solar manufacturing capacity has been growing at ~0.3 TW yr⁻².
Manufacturing capacity now exceeds 1.5 TW yr⁻¹.
Installed solar capacity is ~1.2 TW.
Solar generation YTD is ~0.12 TWyr."

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Pollution from Ineos’s Antwerp plastic plant ‘will cause more deaths than jobs created’
Lawyers challenge €4bn Project One development, saying emissions and health impacts vastly underestimated
The deaths from pollution caused by Europe’s biggest plastic plant, which is being built in Antwerp, will outstrip the number of permanent jobs it will create, lawyers will argue in a court challenge issued on Thursday.
In documents submitted to the court, research suggests the air pollution from Ineos’s €4bn petrochemical plant would cause 410 deaths once operational, compared with the 300 permanent jobs the company says will be created. Continue reading...
