Renewables keep taking off like a massive rocketship, with batteries following the same trajectory. There's no stopping them at this point.

    I like this one! Trump's admin is trying to slam the breaks, but they can only control federal money, imports and federal land. The market, from the big dogs on down, demands green energy. Forget global warming for a moment, there are perfectly selfish reasons the market wants cheap energy.

    Look at little ol' me. My power bill is hilariously low, probably $90 this month, but I still want at least some solar. Would have been damned nice the when the hurricane hit us dead on this month, no power for a week. They can cut the tax rebate, but they can't stop me. Also, I'm in the county, no one will ever know if I put "porch power" in my backyard.

    This always inspires me, even if admittedly the USA burned its chances of being a global leader in that space in the last 5 years or so.

    Biden tried to make it a red state industry, and had a lot of buy-in from senators that wanted the jobs. But, they chose hatred-suicide with Trump. Others will take over, just sad America won’t really be a part of it.
