@renewablesmiffy Of course. The area is less than golf courses. less than Xmas tree nurseries. 50% of rooftops Less than coal mines, gas right of ways, railways and mine tailings. Never let that get in the way of fossil fuel companies executives lies.

@HughButler35 You understand they can still farm land with renewables and pylons?

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." Reality of land used by renewable energy increases, which are build out for next 3 decades Farmers get $21,000 per tower. For 50 years, farmers have wanted off farm income.

@EVCurveFuturist Net effect. Money in your pocket, not despots such as the 24 oil exporters

ICE cars burn fuel to move. #EVs convert electrons into smiles. One system turns energy into heat, noise & weekly bills. The other turns it into motion, silence, & savings. This isn’t preference. It’s physics. Cost curves don’t lie. Once you drive electric, there’s no going back.

@cglassey_author Have you tried reading? It’s not hard and it doesn’t hurt. Ignorance can be cured if you ask for help.

Under no rational understanding can atmospheric CO2 be considered a pollutant. If we reduce CO2 below 150 PPM in our atmosphere, nearly all plants will die and then all animals will die. CO2 is a necessary part of the Earth's atmosphere. It is NOT a pollutant. Many farmers who use greenhouses boost the CO2 levels inside their buildings because it makes their plants grow faster and larger.

@GROGParty 20 years. Coal gone. Gas going going gone. Happening. Rome wasn't built in a day. Hanging onto the past makes a dinosaur. explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/sa1/?ra…

not too much wind and solar in nsw.... net zero so close

@Donsvess Point in time. Take SA. Reading is not hard and doesn't hurt your head. 26 years ago, all coal. Coal now zero. Check data yourself. Don't rely on Ben or advance to mislead you to explore.openelectricity.org.au/energy/sa1/?ra…

Once again, we rely on COAL & GAS to supply 88.54% of our electricity needs. Without coal & gas 88% of us would be in blackout. Bowen's "Wind & Solar only" policy is supplying just 11% of our needs. Thank goodness for COAL & GAS!! Poor old Australia under Bowen & LABOR!!!

@HenrykK246 @ICannot_Enough There's 1) technology 2) Economics 3) Politics and belief system Numbers don't lie. Flatline Economics. Read IR report So only left with a belief system that the sun shines out of Elon's arse. To pretend no brand damage was done. Do you believe in father Xmas?

To all who said Elon hurt the brand. He built the brand, protected free speech, tried to save our/ taxpayers money from corrupt government and he value truth and principles over money. I wish our politicians had strong morals like him. You all complainers would sell your soul for money, he didn't.

2 years ago: "Elon destroyed the Tesla brand globally! It'll never recover!" Today: #1 selling EV in California: Tesla Model Y #1 selling EV in the U.S.: Tesla Model Y #1 selling EV in Europe: Tesla Model Y #1 selling EV in China: Tesla Model Y

Great news! New Q1 U.S. data show that not only do higher penetrations of WindWaterSolar still correlate with lower residential retail electricity prices in the U.S., but that correlation has strengthened in just three months! What is more, of the 16 states that met 37% to 126% of their grid+BTM demand with WWS from Q2-25 to Q1-26, 14 had prices 1.5-5.5 cents/kWh BELOW the U.S. average! -->claims that increasing WWS increases prices are not true web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jac…

@DavidGlynneJon1 @AngusTaylorMP 7 things in 7 years. Can they read.

Moronic @AngusTaylorMP confirms that the Federal LNP Coalition has been completely captured by the fossil energy industry. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

@mzjacobson Australia? $29,000 over a decade.

What can you do if you are tired of wasting money on gasoline? Did you know that every 30 miles of driving a gasoline car, you spend three to five dollars more than driving the same 30 miles in an electric car? That adds up to about $20,000 to $40,000 more in fuel cost for the gasoline car when driving the U.S. average of 15,000 miles per year for 15 years. So, even if the electric car costs $5,000 more upfront than the gasoline car you save $15,000 to $35,000 over 15 years. Think about that if you are tired of losing money every single day due to high gasoline prices. Think also of how, with an electric car, you reduce air pollution exposure to your family, your neighbors, and everyone in your city, because vehicle exhaust is toxic and worldwide, contributes to 1 to 2 million air pollution deaths per year. Stay safe and healthy with a battery-electric car. More info: Still No Miracles Needed (@CambridgeUP ) web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jac… Video: youtube.com/shorts/jBd0kgJ…

@mcdev @SawyerMerritt Numbers are there.

Questions: Where will these charge? How frequently will the charging parks be placed upon highways and major thoroughfares? Who pays for the charging station infrastructure? Will the trucks be charged $ to charge? Will these be subsidized charging locations for these trucks only or publicly available as well?

The official production Tesla Semi battery sizes have been revealed for both trims in a public regulatory filing. Tesla Semi Long Range: • Usable battery capacity: 822kWh • Chemistry: NMCA (4680 cells) • Range: 500 miles (at 82k lbs gross combination weight) • Peak charging speed: 1,200kW (1.2MW) Tesla Semi Standard Range: • Usable battery capacity: 548kWh • Chemistry: NMCA (4680 cell) • Range: 325 miles (at 82k lbs gross combination weight) • Peak charging speed: 1,200kW (1.2MW)

70 pages of hallucination. You lost all credibility down 20 lines when you mentioned thorium reactors. Reality vs hopium Reminds me of the 20 well meaning scientists and experts who said Prof Mark Jacobson was wrong about his WWW in 2003. Still saying he was wrong 25 years later. Not saying he got it right. Certainly more than those others. optimisticstorm.com/153-countries-… Suggest that IRENA has a better take on it. irena.org/-/media/Files/…

I have a 70-page paper on why batteries are NOT going to save us and allow any region to reduce or remove conventional power capacity, not now and not in the future. This is renewable math. If you promote renewables, you have to answer to it, you can't wave your hands and say batteries will save us.

@RobertsCarlos_ @McguinThe @Peter_Fitz The demographics have changed. The usa has gone from sane to Trump.

@McguinThe @Peter_Fitz In 2013 nobody was saying that Labor was done after there was a liberal landslide against the Gillard government. The pendulum swings back and forth in Australia eventually it will swing back after Labor has its term.

Ms Deves, I think we can be accused of being champagne-swilling elites, or commies, but not both? Does anyone ever take you aside and say, "Katherine, seriously . . .?"

Germany shut nuclear. Critics said the system would fail. But zoom out. Wind & solar went from ~1% to ~45%, renewables from ~6% to ~56%, and fossil is getting squeezed. Messy in the middle, clear direction. This isn’t collapse. It’s system replacement playing out. #Bettrification Generation didn’t collapse. It followed demand. After the energy shock, consumption fell and the system adjusted through efficiency, imports, and lower output. Germany still runs one of the most reliable grids in the world, so the idea that industry couldn’t get power doesn’t hold. 👉 No systemic power shortages 👉 Industry response was to price, not supply 👉 Gas drove electricity costs higher during the crisis That’s the real story. Energy-intensive sectors were hit by a cost shock, not a lack of electricity. Some output was reduced, some production shifted, but that’s about competitiveness under high prices, not the system failing. Prices spiked hard. German households were paying ~€0.47/kWh at the peak in 2022–2023. That’s now down to roughly ~€0.33–€0.39/kWh depending on contract in 2025–2026. Wholesale power collapsed from €300+/MWh peaks back to roughly €70–€100/MWh range. So prices are falling, but still above pre-2022 levels. That’s because gas still sets the marginal price, not because renewables are failing. Critics said this wouldn’t work. That removing nuclear would break the system. But while the debate fixated there, wind and solar kept scaling anyway, moving from marginal to the backbone of the system. Even in 2025, with weaker wind and lower hydro, the trend held. Solar surged and the system adapted, exactly what a transition under load looks like. Germany isn’t finished. Fossil is still balancing, storage is still scaling, and the middle is messy. But the direction is clear. This isn’t transition. It’s another system replacement.

If you put that ethanol into the combustion engine of a car (that throws ~75% away as heat) and compare it with an electric vehicle, the end result becomes ~500:1 in favor of solar. And solar can go on roofs or be combined with other agricultural appliations.

@dehiggs5 @ProfRayWills Avoid paid by fossil fuel companies ones.

@ProfRayWills I guess it depends on which “ professor” you listen to

Two principal reasons, as I understand it. 1. The remaining fossil fuel infrastructure is aging & expensive. 2. There are too few major energy companies, restricting market forces to drive prices down. People getting their own solar and batteries helps alleviate both factors.

Sure, put solar panels on carparks. It's a good idea. But the insinuation that farmers are being forced to put solar panels on "prime farmland" is such nonsense. Nearly all solar panels being erected on farmland occurs because the land owner chose to do that.

@cooper221bb @thejefflutz Sold out for next 2 years? If that enough?

@thejefflutz Do they have meaningful, demonstrated demand?

Congrats this is a BIG deal! A whole NEW SEGMENT for Tesla! Some said it could never happen! 👀

@loudenclear111 @MikeCarlton01 Laughing 😂. Does your granddaughter think you are weird? Are you that uncle sitting in the corner of the family room that everyone avoids. Brain dead?

@HughButler35 @MikeCarlton01 Your male feminist credentials won`t stop someone like Britanny Higgins from doing the same thing to you. They hate you more than they hate actual men.

Lisa and Peter are my dear friends. They paid a heavy financial and emotional price for this, for standing for the truth. But they were strong and never wavered, and at last they have been vindicated.
