Solar keeps on trucking, despite predictions to the contrary. The black line is actual solar growth, the yellow lines were the IEA predictions. Solar is cheaper and increasingly manufactured in the US and countries like South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Mexico.

Some surprising stats on which California counties are leading the transition to EVs:

In Q2, Santa Clara (San Jose) is leading the way with 43% of all light-duty vehicle sales being ZEVs (the vast majority of those are BEVs). Closely behind is San Francisco (41%), Alameda (40%) and Marin (38%).

Midjourney 5.1 is 🔥. This took about 2 mins on the first try. Have to say, light pink suits him well.
