Wind and solar surpassed coal back in 2024. This most recent article is only including solar.
I was wondering about that. That’s amazing progress, but let’s also get those wind numbers up
That has always been the the MO of 'Murica
They will always do all they can to be wrong, because they choose the shitty stupidity because they are driven by ignorance and hate
But occasionally they get something right, only because they ran out of stupid
Oh we didn’t run out of stupid, it’s just that America is absolutely coin operated. Solar is cheaper per power generated now and that means America will adopt it over the long run even while they shit on it.
Look at Texas’s energy production, they are leading in renewable energy because it’s cheaper but publicly they make fun of it because the people are dumb.
If there’s one product you can count on America for it’s the export of stupid.
The exporting of stupid is one thing, because even the dumbest of people in the civilised world sees it as stupid
It's the export of hatred.
Its telling people that their lives will be better, if they can just hate brown people, or queer people, or anyone just a bit harder
'Murica exports war. Political, economic, and cultural in an attempt to grab power, resources, influence or just a cancerous presence sitting in the background
Degrade and underinvest in rail networks, so you can't move coal cheaply across the country
Knock out Russian gas production, so it's more profitable to ship NGLs overseas than use them at home
Blockade the Straight of Hormuz, so you lose access to cheaply refined petroleum.
Also, sabotage productive capacity in Venezuela and tear up all your sulfur refining facilities, so you can't exploit the largest fuel reserve in the Western Hemisphere
Sunny Days Are Here Again.
Thanks, Donald!
Degrade and underinvest in rail networks
Fuck that, freight rail has been doing that for over half a century. Coal doesn’t care how slow it moves or how off schedule it is, but when that’s all freight ts cares about, they ruin rail for everyone.
Time to seize that track by eminent domain, force them to obey the law giving g passenger rail priority, and forcing maintenance if they want to use the track
Comrade Trump turbocharging demand destruction
I feel like this should be "than coal in US" not "in US than coal" for some reason
Trump: >:(
