Solar is now the dominant source of new U.S. power capacity and is on track to surpass coal in total installed capacity before the end of 2026. 70 GW of new solar capacity is scheduled to come online in 2026–2027 → a 49% increase in operating solar capacity from the end of 2025.

ELON MUSK: "I do see a path to 100 gigawatts a year of AI powered space solar satellites. If you do a million tons of payload to orbit per year with 100 kilowatts per ton, that's 100 gigawatts of solar powered AI satellites per year. There's a path to get to a terawatt per year, then you want to make those AI satellites on the moon and use a mass driver. We should scale solar substantially in the US. Tesla and SpaceX are scaling solar, and I encourage others to do so as well."

Elon is not messing around. SpaceX has just filed an application with the FCC seeking authority to launch and operate a massive new satellite constellation dedicated to orbital data centers. ITS HAPPENING. Tesla Terafab is next.

China has grown by over 500 TWh in the past 12 months. Coal is down 66 TWh.

First comes dirt, then comes energy dominance. Construction on G2_Austin has begun. A 2.1GW solar cell fab in Texas. This is more than breaking ground. This is breaking free from energy dependence by building an American supply chain.
