Make Electricity Cheap Again! Power needs to be cheap, clean, abundant and resilient. Here's my 8-point plan to turn the current Power Price Doom Loop into an Electrification Virtuous Circle.

NextEra built a brilliant clean energy financing machine and then it broke. How YieldCos scaled renewables fast, and why the model wasn’t as robust as it looked. Latest on https://t.co/1czOXGUOBf energy finance course:

The only solution to this challenge: data centers must pay directly for enough NEW electricity capacity and energy to meet their round-the-clock needs.
And if they want to avoid driving up pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (as @Meta says they do), it has to be new CLEAN power delivered to match their hourly electricity needs. See https://t.co/zDavWCsKmn and https://t.co/xUfYr2H8JF

This week on Open Circuit: Meta’s 6.6 GW nuclear push to power AI data centers — we discuss what’s real, what’s aspirational, and what it signals about who controls power in the AI era.

Even the Texas grid shows that “solar arrays … produce electricity more cheaply than fossil fuel power plants that have ongoing fuel costs.”

Clean energy is less expensive; grids prove it; don’t believe the lies.

Just 1 ship packed with solar panels delivers the means to produce as much electricity as 57 LNG tankers or 120 coal ships

A world with little fossil fuels has an enormously lighter footprint - starting with zero need for 40% of global shipping

First Solar just opened a $1.1 billion integrated solar PV manufacturing plant in Louisiana capable of producing 3.5 gigawatts of panels each year. The plant will employ >700 people https://t.co/ymR01Pai3X

Ein bekannter kanadischer YouTuber berichtet über seinen Kurztrip durch Deutschland. Was er „mindblowing“ findet ist für uns so normal geworden, dass es mittlerweile nicht einmal mehr erwähnenswert ist.

Solar in Pakistan is one example of the global solar boom and why petrostate politicos are freaking out.

Solar is doing more to address energy poverty than any other energy source.

High costs of fossil fuels still cripple poor nations.

NREL (which is part of DOE) has already done the land use analysis. We could have 100% clean electricity by 2035 and wind, solar and transmission would use less land than the EXISTING federal oil & gas leases. https://t.co/evpQkDxrcQ @NREL

Continuing to insist on technological purity & policies that drive up costs, especially for the poor & vulnerable, but even for the tired and inflation-battered middle classes, is not a viable plan. And that is why I'm calling for a #PragmaticClimateReset. https://t.co/Kb74c1jadW

California breaks another record: 56 straight 100% #WindWaterSolar days (previous record 55 in 2024).

97 of 129 days (75%) in '25 >100% WWS v 57 of 129 days in '24

Avg of 4.4 h/day >100% in '25 v 2.6 h/day '24

Gas down 44% v '23; 23% v '24
Batteries up 204% v '23; 69% v '24

I wrote something about Tony Blair's proposed "climate reset". Do we need a climate reset? Absolutely. Will it look anything like Tony Blair’s version? Absolutely not!

We're in an energy emergency. The quickest power plants to build and begin generating are solar, batteries, and wind. If you need more power in <5 yrs, these technologies are critical. #energytwitter
