Solar & wind provided more than 50% of the power today as a heat dome settled over Texas driving temperatures into the 90s in most of the state. It'll be hotter tomorrow but there's lots of extra capacity. Renewables & batteries increase reliability.

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.
