These stats about alternative energy for the US are NOT what I expected, very heartening to see.
Solar/battery is the cheapest way to make electricity. Some people know. Some don't.
or some have a lobby to service so they deny reality.
it's depressing but true.
The financial argument for renewables has more or less won among the people looking to build power generation
Its a little strange to talk shit about China manufactoring and renewable deployment while praising the US for doing way less.
China is literally deploying 5x the US renewables. It alone is deploying more than the rest of the world combined, year after year. More importantly, the entire reason renewables and batteries are cheap is because of Chinas manufactoring sector. They produce something like 80% of the worlds batteries. China is why solar/batteries are cheap enough to be the go to power source in the US.
No other country is even close in panels/battery/wind turbine production, much less exports. They are single handedly fueling a green revolution in Pakistan, a nation of 250 million people, by selling 10% of their solar exports to a country in the chokehold of fossil fuels. Pakistan went from 5GW solar installed in 2020 to over 35GW installed in 2025, with 15GW waiting for deployment. Thats a 10x increase. Some of its large cities are now able to run on just solar during the day, instead of using natgas from Qatar. Thats a huge change in just 5 years that affects a quarter billion people, and its from just a small portion of Chinas exports.
Fuck their totalitarian government and surveillance state, but its odd to go "rah rah USA" and "fuck china" when we are literally only making any headway in renewables because of their decades long efforts.
Ok which cia stenographer wrote this crap?
