Permissionless distributed energy.

A world map visualization of 68 battery factories with Chinese company involvement. The headline of the map is China's Global Battery Empire.

NEW: I tracked all Chinese lithium battery factories announced or built in the past decade 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 China's borders. The truth is, companies like CATL & BYD are so technologically advanced that there's little international competition. European and Asian countries are welcoming them with open arms.

Do you like charts? Oh yes you do. I've just published hundreds of them, as I do every year. www.nathanielbullard.com/presentations

lifetime energy production of all Chinese solar panels that have been manufactured represents far more energy than all the oil majors oil reserves:

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.

We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.

“Vietnam is taking bold steps to clean up its streets – and quiet them down. Starting next summer, the major downtown areas of Hanoi will ban all gas-powered motorcycles as part of a program to cut emissions.”

And that’s just a 1st step — the program will expand beyond downtown, & to include cars.

China added 93 gigawatts of solar last month — that's 1% of global electricity. In a month. How fast could the world decarbonise if others sprinted too? ⚡️

Solar tops EU power mix for first time in June, Ember says Solar power was the European Union's largest source of electricity for the first time in June, overtaking nuclear and wind while coal's contribution fell to an all-time low, data from energy think tank Ember showed on Thursday.

People, not money, should be the heart of our politics. And at the same time, raising a lot of money is part of the job for DNC Chairs.

In Wisconsin, we've generated unprecedented resources.

Record fundraising will be essential to execute a year-round campaign with all 57 state parties.

Opinion | If Anyone Can Save the Democrats, It’s Ben Wikler This Wisconsinite is the obvious choice for D.N.C. chair.

On Sunday, I launched my campaign to chair the DNC. I'm looking forward to talking with DNC members & allies about how we can unite our party, fight on every platform in every place, and win – with a year-round campaign strategy for each and every state and territory.
