@IRanMediaco India is rapidly installing solar and shifting to EVs. The quicker the better.

@ENERGY @SecretaryWright At least Chris Wright admits that the Middle East plays a part in the pricing of American gas. This is why solar and wind are so important. How many of the 5,000 Marines will die protecting oil?

Alex Epstein@AlexEpstein·
It’s always advisable to try to understand someone’s argument before trashing them. Especially if that someone is Chris Wright, who knows a lot about energy. Wright’s point is that only 20% of global energy use today is electricity, and solar panels just generate electricity. So with today’s energy economy, even if you had enough solar panels to cover all electricity—or even if you had far, far more—you still wouldn’t be providing 80% of energy. What Wright wasn’t saying, but that his statement was interpreted by many as saying, was: “There’s not enough space on Earth to have all its energy generated by solar.” While using solar does create real, costly land issues, there is for sure enough space on Earth for solar to generate way more kilowatt-hours of raw energy than humans use in all our machines. The main reasons we don’t use that much solar are: 1) The versatility problem Wright is alluding to: Electricity as such isn’t yet good for many things, most obviously flying planes, powering container ships, etc. 2) The classic intermittency problem: Solar isn’t a stored, on-demand, independent electricity source, and batteries are prohibitively expensive to make it one for the foreseeable future. (For a full explanation of these issues, see Chapters 5-6 of my book Fossil Future.) I, Chris Wright, and other advocates of energy freedom wish solar the best; we just feel compelled to point out its limitations because opponents of energy freedom try to justify subsidies and mandates for solar based on fantasies about its cost-effectiveness and versatility. As the pro-freedom side says over and over, insofar as solar has anywhere near the potential many claim it does, then it shouldn’t need subsidies, mandates, or any other form of government preference. So why can’t we all agree on energy freedom?

@DowneastMemes @itskyleconner Not mass adopted with current American battery limitations. With megawatt Chinese technology and the transition would be done by Thursday

@itskyleconner Exactly why EV will never be mass adopted. Until my car charges from 2% to 100% in 2minutes..I ain’t buying. Especially with the cost of electricity being very similar to gas and to add the power to the house for a home charger is just insane.

@politicaldrinkr @CraigDMauger Yesterday 60% of Texas energy was renewable. Clearly you're not knowledgeable on energy, this is common knowledge in the industry.

DTE Energy says it will seek another increase in the electricity rates it charges customers in Michigan, just days after state regulators approved a $242 million rate hike. detroitnews.com/story/business…

@politicaldrinkr @CraigDMauger Ok.... now back to reality. Let me show you what happens when there's no fuel or maintenance expense to generate electricity. Texas leads the country in renewables and they pay slightly below average.

@CraigDMauger This is outrageous. DTE should abandon its boondoggle green energy program and focus on providing energy at the lowest cost to its consumers.

@Acyn They'd rather refunds back to foreign countries that have taken advantage of the U.S. for decades rather than receiving $2,000. Left-wing ideology isn't just toxic here, it's a destructive force spreading cancer-like across the globe, prioritizing outsiders over citizens.

Global BESS installations hit 315 GWh in 2025 — up 50% YoY. The 2026 pipeline: 450+ GWh. At this rate, battery storage overtakes pumped hydro as the world's largest storage fleet by mid-decade. A technology that barely existed at grid scale in 2018 is now the default.
