Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Balcony power plants: Storage now worthwhile For a long time, storage for balcony power plants was economically nonsensical. With prices under 400 euros for 2 kWh, that's changing.

🌞🔋 @heise.de has translated it’s article about plug in battery systems with #pluginsolar and concludes that a 2 kWh battery & #solar combo below 400€ is economically worthwhile for a lot of uses.

Text Shot: Utilities and regulators can protect existing customers with a simple safeguard, giving teeth to vague qualitative pledges: Sell power to new data centers only under ​“take or pay” contracts that repay the entire electricity investment regardless. Those agreements should be backed by robust bonds or insurance, priced by capital-market risk experts (not by developers), to ensure that if an AI venture collapses, losses fall on the developer, not on households and small businesses. If markets, and not mandates, determine the outcome, the conclusion is already clear. Gas, coal, and nuclear are too slow, too costly, and too risky to anchor the next wave of U.S. power demand. The only technologies that scale quickly enough, cheaply enough, and reliably enough for AI already dominate global additions. Policy will now decide whether Americans will enable the new energy system or protect the old — and whether they’ll pay for stranded gas plants or profit from the cheapest and most…

Tesla owner uses emergency solar to trickle charge after running out of battery in desert A YouTuber driving a Tesla Model X the full length of the Americas hit 0% battery in Chile's Atacama Desert and used 287W solar panels to survive the ordeal.

"If you run out of gas in the middle of the #AtacamaDesert, you can’t summon #fuel from the sky. With an #EV and a #solar panel, you can at least trickle in enough #energy to keep the car alive and potentially limp to the next stop."

Solar generation to rise 17% this summer: EIA The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s most recent short-term outlook highlights renewable energy’s growing grid penetration, particularly during the summer.

#Solar and #wind energy are growing the fastest in the 🇺🇸 US, with solar expected to jump a lot in the next few years and become the main source meeting rising electricity demand ☀️⚡. #Coal use is dropping and natural gas is staying about the same, so fossil fuels are slowly becoming less dominant 🔥.
