“In the 12 months ending April 2025, solar generated 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, compared to 81.6 TWh from natural gas.”
“Nationally, solar generation continues to climb. In April, solar supplied 10.64% of U.S. electricity for the month (marking the first time the country crossed the 10% mark) and contributed 7.35% of generation over the rolling 12 months. California, by comparison, produced 42% of its electricity from solar at its seasonal peak in April, with May expected to push that figure even higher.”
Good 'ol CA, long-time nation-leader.
This is SOCIALISM! TRUE Freedom means Relying on OIL BARONS for our Electricity and NOT the Freely Available Sun!
Proud of my state. Ashamed of my country.
Y’all still working on withholding Federal funds?
I don’t know wtf is going on anymore. There’s just so much.
That’s by design
It makes a lot of sense. More people should (have) gotten in while the getting was good.
If
- your roof gets sun
- you own your house
- you’re going to stay there ~10 years
- you don’t have to go into debt at a bad rate to do it
You should have really looked into it while the 30% fed discount existed. I think it dies at the end of this year. Payoff time with a battery is something like 9-14 years, but after that it’s 10-25 years of profit. And you don’t have to worry about power outages anymore.
prices for solar are continuously falling. bleeding edge is expensive, as always. cheaper helps it grow. big oil wants to kill it. too late.
