Two new solar records today in Texas/ERCOT:
🏆 first time over 30,000 megawatts
☀️first time over 58% of supply
Quite the progression:
2015: 500 megawatts
2017: 1,000 megawatts
2021: 5,000 megawatts
2022: 10,000 megawatts
2024: 15,000 megawatts
Feb. 2026: 30,000 megawatts!!
There's a new November electric demand record in Texas. It's 92 degrees in Austin – on November 7. There are 25,000 megawatts-worth of thermal plants offline for seasonal maintenance. Solar + wind providing >50% all day. Could see a battery record this evening. #txlege#txenergy

A storm of malicious incompetence is currently brewing at the US department of energy.
Led by @SecretaryWright, there is a targeted campaign to mislead the public about wind and solar power.
Let's look at what's really going on with wind and solar in the US 🧵
Demand near 76,000 megawatts in ERCOT today with over 16,000 megawatts-worth of gas & coal plants offline. About 94% of those thermal outages are unplanned.
No energy emergencies or scarcity as solar & wind are meeting more than 50% of peak demand.
It was refreshing to meet with principled conservative leaders who still believe in private property rights and that no land owner should be denied the opportunity to develope energy facilities on their land.
Hundreds of landowners, industry workers and property rights advocates joined @APowerAlliance for Clean Energy Day in #Oklahoma, where we met with lawmakers to discuss the umbrella of benefits advanced energy resources have brought to the state

@Artemisfornow Quick, how much water is used to cool coal, gas, nuclear generation? Not saying any one generation source is better than another but using water consumption against solar is a losing argument.

Texas energy powers our homes, our businesses, and our future.
Texas is leading the way with our all-of-the-above energy strategy, with more solar and wind jobs than any other state.
Texas is also #1 for wind energy and #1 for solar energy.

This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history.
That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail.
Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems… (thread) 🧵
