1. To opinions! Solar is the cheapest source of bulk electricity in many countries, and the quickest to deploy, and now you couldn't stop it being built if you wanted to. The limits to PV build in most places are grid access, permitting, and sometimes installation labour.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

I didn't think "Scorched Earth Jimmy Kimmel" was in the realm of possibility.
Yet here we are. I'm now a fan of someone I thought about less than once a year about two months ago.

The right ignored the murder of the Minnesota House Speaker by a guy who had a hit list of Democrats he was targeting to flip control of the chamber to Republicans.
Asked about that assassination today, the president said he didn't know who she was and a Fox host said he didn't care she was killed.

The Celtics have shared the Garden (old or new) for nearly eight decades. But new owners have signaled they'll explore an arena of their own.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

Recently, we've been overhauling our real-time solar calculations. Last weekend, it was producing strange results totally at odds with the blue skies folks were posting 🔅🍦
It turns out this may have been one of the first instances of serious solar curtailment on the Irish grid 😬
