Renewable energy is the energy investment of the future 🔋☀️

In the U.S. last year, wind & solar outperformed coal, and with the right policies, it will only continue to help Americans thrive. 📈🧵⬇️

[WRI Polsky Energy Center @WRIEnergy]

Despite recent U.S. federal government decisions, coal is the wrong investment in 2025. We need renewables to help meet rising demand, keep costs down, and ensure a stable, reliable grid. 🔆🌇

Pakistan’s solar shift wasn’t necessarily climate-driven or state-led. It was a market revolution.

2015 incentives + 2020s tariff hikes = mass solar adoption.

Pakistan’s solar boom.

Rising tariffs + unreliable grid = homes & businesses turning to rooftop solar.

Now, a full-blown energy revolution is underway.

💨 The U.S. grew Direct Air Capture from a handful of startups to 150+ in under a decade. Federal policy made it possible — but funding is now uncertain.

States with clean power, waste heat & CO₂ storage can step in as the next leaders: https://t.co/YK7RTjIHGn

Energy bills are rising in the US, and often those bearing the biggest burden are those in low-income households who are excluded from energy system decision making. 📈🔋

NEW article shows how community-based organizations can address this ⚖️⬇️
