Solar’s deployment speed exploded by over 34 times between the 1st and 2nd terawatt milestones, and still accelerating. Average annual deployment velocity:
>1st 1,000GW (68 years): ~14.7GW /year
>2nd 1,000GW (2 years): 500GW /year
>3rd 1,000GW (1.2 years): ~833.3GW /year
One day, a battery record. The next, a solar record.
Record 23.195 GW peak solar output Fri Jul 10 on the @CaliforniaISO grid.
100th of 101 days straight and 166th of 191 (87%) in 2026 with WindWaterSolar supply > 100% of demand.
Gas down 62% in '26 v '23
Solar, wind, and batteries pushing gas off the grid, which is now the most stable and reliable in the U.S.
Let me repeat
Batteries can now meet 75.3% of average grid demand and 44.4% of the year's highest grid demand for 4 hours at a cost less than 1% the price of electricity in the world's 4th-largest economy.
So, whoever is still standing claiming fossil fuels are needed, sit back down.

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition.
Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how.
In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification#EV
