Really interesting project to create a solar-powered transit hub in #ATX @EnergyUT kxan.com/news/local/austin/s…

Solar-powered ‘mobility hub’ to address public transit inequities in north Austin

Transit deserts are often found in migrant or non-white communities, as well as where there is a higher concentration of lower-income residents.

Insight from Josh Rhodes @UTAustin @joshdr83 about what it will take for solar power to generate up to 45% of the U.S. electricity supply by 2050. @EnergyUT theconversation.com/bidens-p…

Biden’s proposed tenfold increase in solar power would remake the US electricity system

A decade ago, solar power was a tiny sliver of the US energy supply. Today it’s expanding rapidly – and the Biden administration wants to make it much, much bigger.
