Whoa, that's flippin cool. I want a solar panel fence! Viva!
Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

It's nice to have some good news. This feels pretty big. Very happy to see a successful conversion of thorium into uranium in a molten salt reactor.
China found in U.S. archives an energy source that could power its future for 20,000 years - and made it work
I’m not exaggerating.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

The Hidden Dangers in Canada’s Oil and Gas Ambitions
@MarkJCarney, @timhodgsonmt, @ABDanielleSmith have been led astray by misguided energy demand forecasting.
IMO, global oil demand will begin to decline by the early 2030s.
