US solar generated more electricity than coal during May!
US solar generation rose 17%!
US coal generation fell 11%!
Solar & storage were 91% of new capacity in first quarter.
Solar deployment and manufacturing are vital to the USA.

For the first time ever, solar outproduced coal in a calendar month. In May, solar supplied 12.8% of US electricity while coal accounted for just 12.2%.

Here's the wild part: states won by Trump in the 2024 election accounted for 74% of all solar capacity installed in Q1 2026, with Texas, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan among the top 10 states for new solar additions. This is a market story, not just a policy one.

Clean energy is winning on economics. No amount of policy headwinds has slowed it down. The sun doesn't care about politics, and neither do electricity bills.

Renewables are often framed as the future of energy security, but they’re rarely at the center of actual geopolitical flashpoints. Most modern conflicts still track back to oil, gas, chokepoints, and fuel logistics. Energy transition is real and needs to be reality.

Germany continuing to set the trend👏👏

🇩🇪 Germany is on the path to 100% renewable energy supply and consumption and will continue to have one of the most reliable electricity grids in the world.
With a higher share of renewable energy, costs drop significantly and geopolitical risks are reduced.
I wish it were happening faster, but our current government under Chancellor Merz is doing everything it can to delay it.
The Greens were absolutely right with all their proposals and initiatives, and this is becoming clearer by the day.

1/ NEW: The net zero economy is now supporting:
✅Over 1m jobs
✅£105bn in GVA
✅22,000 small businesses
This analysis from @CBItweets is a reminder that net zero is a great British success story. And exactly why this Government is doubling down.

The BNEF New Energy Outlook 2026 dropped and I cannot stop thinking about it. Buckle up.
The narrative that the energy transition is stalling? It's just wrong. This report is the most bullish thing I've read all year, and it's not from an advocacy group — it's from Bloomberg.

But this is the moment to double down on policy — permitting reform, grid investment, storage incentives — not retreat. Global energy transition investment hit a record $2.3 trillion in 2025, and BNEF's base case sees that rising to $2.9 trillion annually over the next five years. The money is moving. Policy needs to meet it.

The clean energy transition isn't a sacrifice narrative. It's an energy security story, an economic competitiveness story, and yes, a climate story — all at once. Anyone still selling doom hasn't read the data.
