If God wanted us to build Type 1 Civilization, he would have: 1. put a giant fusion reactor in the sky (emitting blackbody radiation around 5800 K) 2. made 28% of Earth's crust out of a semiconductor with a matching bandgap (~1.1 eV or so) 3. filled the oceans with an alkali metal we could use to store limitless quantities of energy (sodium or something similar) That would be a crazy coincidence...

Every solar hater is Paul Ehrlich.

Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

Remarkable thing about Paul Ehrlich is not just how wrong he was but that we was totally unphased and unchastened by his wrongness, just a total epistemic disaster zone — a pattern of conduct that is unfortunately shared by many prominent people from different schools of thought.

I'm also known for designing this chart that shows the IEA has been laughingly negative on solar cells. Here's the original tweet: twitter.com/AukeHoekstra/s… Here's the 2018 update: twitter.com/AukeHoekstra/s… And here's a call for transparency: twitter.com/AukeHoekstra/s…

Happy Solar Pessimism Chart Update Day to all who celebrate

Nicolas Fulghum@nicolasfulghum

NEW | The world installed a record 814 GW of solar and wind capacity in 2025 ☀️⚡️ That's over 1,000 TWh of electricity generation per year... ...enough to displace nearly twice Qatar's annual LNG export volume in gas generation 🔥❌ Fossil fuels crisis? Wind and solar deliver.

If you want people to work less AND be richer, you need to produce more goods and services with less labor. (automation + efficiency) Wealth is constantly created and destroyed. You can’t just redistribute what exists and be done. You have to constantly produce it or it will rapidly decay.

Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@JessePeltan It’s more of a security thing. He can’t have people knowing the specific dimensions of his vault pool.

It’s true. 😡 He could give millions of people internet access across the world, or accelerate the development of clean energy, but instead he hoards it all in a big vault and swims around in it. what a pity 😔

Fox News@FoxNews

SEN. SANDERS: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households.” “Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?"

@duncancampbell 92% of our coal, and 40% of our natural gas is burned to make electricity. Electrify road transport and heating, and there really isn’t much left.

Jesse Peltan@JessePeltan

"Electricity is only 13% of primary energy!" Okay, but 38% of primary energy is used for… *checks notes* …making electricity.

Regardless of what happens in Europe and the U.S., the world is moving to EVs. There is nothing that western automakers can do to reverse this trend, and geopolitical risk in oil will only accelerate it. Either get good at EVs, or wither away.
