My take on this crazy world. A reader and a provocateur. Provocative and Persuasive but never Dogmatic.

Pakistan may be accidentally building one of the world’s first decentralised #solar economies. The craziest part? Real scale barely shows in official stats. Imported 51.5 GW solar panels by late 2025—nearly = entire grid. Yet registered net-metered rooftop solar just 5.3–6.8 GW.
What makes this story so extraordinary is the speed.
In only a few years, Pakistan appears to have gone from a relatively minor solar market to potentially sourcing around a quarter of its electricity from solar once distributed generation is included.
👉 ~16.6–17 GW solar imports in 2024
👉 ~18 GW solar imports in 2025
👉 ~51.5 GW cumulative imports by late 2025
👉 Rooftop solar: ~1.3 GW → 4.1 GW in 2024
👉 ~5.3–6.8 GW registered rooftop solar in 2025
👉 24+ GW estimated behind-the-meter/off-grid
👉 Solar potentially ~25% of actual electricity use
The massive gap between imported panels and officially registered systems strongly suggests tens of gigawatts are now operating quietly on homes, farms, factories and businesses across the country.
This increasingly looks less like a normal energy transition and more like large-scale consumer-led grid defection.
And economics is driving nearly all of it.
Electricity tariffs surged. Diesel prices climbed. Blackouts remained common. Meanwhile ultra-cheap Chinese solar panels and falling battery prices made self-generation economically irresistible.
So millions effectively made the same calculation:
Generate your own power, or remain trapped inside an expensive and unstable system.
Once solar becomes cheaper than the grid itself, adoption can move faster than governments, utilities and even official statistics can keep up with.
This isn’t gradual transition by any stretch. It may ultimately become a blueprint for how energy-poor nations break free from legacy old-world energy systems dominated by fossil fuels and increasingly expensive centralised power.
It’s decentralisation at escape velocity.
This is #Bettrification.

All the Pakistani Military Installations and Headquarters will be hit this time under Operation Sindoor 2.0 !
Pakistani civilians are advised to grab popcorn, sit at home and enjoy the show. That’s the best they can do.
Around 2028, Pakistanis can figure out which province they want to settle in once Pakistan breaks out. Pick your province, make your government and restart fresh. 👍

As an Indian, heartfelt thanks to the Pakistan Navy & PMSA for their swift humanitarian response! ⚓🙏
When MV Gautam faced a technical fault in the Arabian Sea, PMSA Ship PMSS Kashmir rushed to assist following a distress call from Mumbai MRCC.
Providing food, medical aid & technical support to our 6 Indian crew members and 1 Indonesian is truly commendable.
Humanity First 🙏🏻🇮🇳

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

@adamemedia1 The West funds the Nobel Peace Prize as a political tool to endorse those who propagates its vision and policies. It won't be even surprising if the Nobel Peace Prize is given to the US military. Obama got it after committing massacres during his tenure.
