RT by @douglewinenergy: The fast takeoff scenario is when AI rapidly, recursively improves itself. That’s been happening in energy, and it’s accelerating. The Industrial Revolution didn’t take off when we started mining coal. We’ve been using coal for heat for thousands of years. It took off when we built machines that could burn coal, to mine and transport coal, for other coal-fired machines to burn. We created a feedback loop, and we’re doing the same thing with solar right now. The vast majority of the energy used to make solar panels is already electric. We’re now starting to see automated deployment and maintenance. When we close the loop, all the growth humanity’s energy supply has seen to date will look about as significant as these pessimistic forecasts.

RT by @douglewinenergy: The renewable-energy / cleantech / climatetech / whatever-name-comes-next industry is taking punches right now. It hurts. Policy rollbacks, tariffs, outright hostility from the administration. For the many people that joined the industry in the last five years - please know this is not new. It's happened before, and it always feels existential when it is happening. But, I have *never* been more bullish on renewable energy in the 25 yrs I've been involved, because the fundamental economics are so freaking SOLID for solar, wind & batteries. They are the cheapest and - perhaps most importantly - the fastest source of new power generation you can build, with or without tax credits. And they have been the dominant new power source for the *entire world* for the past several years, and will be for the next several. Everywhere in the world - not just the US. The US may take a step back and cede energy dominance to China (although I'm not yet convinced - I believe there is a grand bargain involving nuclear & gas to be had), but the world is most definitely not stepping back. I'm not going anywhere. I'm doubling down.
