Wind now generates roughly as much electricity as nuclear globally, but its growth rate is vastly higher. Over the last decade, wind added around 870 GW of capacity versus roughly 40 GW for nuclear. Better economics, faster deployment and manufacturing scale are winning the day.

It is just a matter of time before we eliminate fossil fuels and nuclear and biomass from electricity systems. People denied more than 20% renewables on a grid was possible 15 years ago. They complained the sun doesn't shine at night. Batteries, hydro, geo, and wind proved it doesn't matter.

I have spoken with many people in Ohio over the years who believe the DOJ and FBI should be more focused on continuing to investigate corruption schemes like the FirstEnergy scandal energyandpolicy.org/firstene…

The only group promising prosperity by forcing people to overpay for energy.

Ohio policymakers & regulators have thwarted >5.3 GW of clean energy over the past dozen years, along with a lot of energy efficiency. The state’s residents are paying the price. @CanaryMediaInc @SaveOhioParks @ACEEEdc @EJTodayNews canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

California has the cheapest wholesale electricity prices in the country, and clean energy is the reason why Free fuel (sun, wind, water) together with battery storage produces low wholesale costs. California's retail electricity prices are quite high for a few reasons, but renewable energy is not one of them. linkedin.com/posts/stanford-… @StanfordEnergy Also, Figure 8 of this paper shows how the wholesale (spot) price of electricity on the CAISO grid dropped by 50% between 2023 and 2024 during a period when the CAISO grid saw 100% WWS for a period of 98 out of 116 days in 2024 with zero blackouts evidencing further that more renewables and storage make it easier to balance demand with supply, thus lowering the spot price of electricity. web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/…

Williamsville, Illinois. Population: 1,425 After one year of solar, the village's public library has saved $4,000, going back into programming for library patrons. wandtv.com/news/illinois/wil…

If the clean energy transition proceeds like any other technological transition, it will indeed have failed. Only the demise of the old saves the climate. A false beat in a good Liebreich piece.

Majorities of Americans say the federal government is doing too little on aspects of environmental protection.

I knew the US imports a lot of its battery cells to make battery systems. I did NOT know just how QUICKLY that is about to change... these numbers are huge🤯

Today on Volts: clean electrification is the most dynamic, hopeful sector of the economy, but when it comes to politics, it's a 98-lb weakling, a junior partner in trade groups dominated by fossil gas. Today's pod is about a new effort to change that. This is a spicy one!

🚨Big scandal brewing in Indiana after the State admitted it doled out a shocking $655 million 💰💰💰 in data center sales tax exemption subsidies in 2025. It previously had claimed it had given less than $1 million in subsidies in 2025.

Sunny Poland☀️🇵🇱 set a new all-time monthly high for solar in April of 2.7 TWh ( 22% over April 2025) The highest solar generation is usually observed in May-August, so there might be more records to come.

Australia added enough battery capacity to shift 53% of new solar generation in 2025 beyond daytime 🔋 🗣️ "Batteries...help reduce bills for everyone, not just those with batteries," says 🇦🇺's Climate Change and Energy Minister citing Ember's #GER2026 minister.dcceew.gov.au/bowen…

Growth in solar power is exploding, and the politicians who are beholden to fossil fuel interests are making you pay more for electricity.

Just got my @DuquesneLight bill. Since May of '25, no distribution charges have changed. The cost of supply alone has increased 30% in one year (now 11 cents/kWh). Supply is 80-95% gas, coal and nuclear. It would sure be great to have more free fuel in @pjminterconnect!

And California is killing it with 52 straight and 118 of 142 (83%) days in 2026 with WindWaterSolar meeting >100% of demand on its main grid for an average of 4.8 hours/day among all 148 days. WWS has met 55.4% of all demand this year. Gas is down 61%, batteries up 328%, solar up 58% in '26 v '23.

No one stole any money in Watergate. This is like 100 Watergates in one.

It won’t be long in the future before people look back to today and wonder why the United States is behind the world in renewable development and paying so much more for electricity.
