One acre of corn for ethanol = 25,000 miles in a Ford F-150. One acre of solar = 700,000 miles in an F-150 Lightning. That’s the scale of possibility Bill McKibben laid out on the Energy Capital Podcast. And here’s the kicker: with agrovoltaics, farmers can still use that land.

Solar power is the fastest-growing source of power in history ☀️ It took 8 years to grow from 100 to 1,000 TWh. Then just 3 years for the next 1,000 TWh. It will take less than 2 years to reach 3,000 TWh of annual generation.

Scientists confirm that Big Oil’s pollution is fueling deadly heatwaves. Emissions from fossil fuel producers made recent extreme heat more likely and more intense. on.nrdc.org/46f1ldq

I had to triplecheck this because I didn't believe it... All of the world's discovered reserves of fossil fuels = the same energy as just 5 days of sunlight hitting the Earth🤯 Solar power is basically unlimited🤷‍♂️

Freedom is not about saying nice things or agreeing with those in power. It is not flattering the President of the United States. It is the right to express your point of view without government interference. We must not allow anybody to take that freedom away from us.

Subsidies endorsed by #Trump and the Republican party are artificially keeping fossil fuels viable, said Prof Michael E. Mann. "If one were truly in favor of the ‘free market’ to determine this, then fossil fuels would be disappearing even faster." independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

As fossil fuel facilities continue to spew more and more heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the sky, they also spread massive amounts of disease-causing particulate co-pollution into the communities where they’re located — killing almost 9 million people every year. The

99% of plastics are made from fossil fuels, including fracked gas and oil. While plastic pollution is not a single event like a pipeline leak or tanker explosion, it has been referred to as “Earth’s biggest oil spill” because of the enormous volume and presence of fossil

New data by IRENA shows: Tripling renewables & doubling energy efficiency by 2030 is within reach. But we need to pick up the pace. As António Guterres said: "We must step up, scale up & speed up the just energy transition – for everyone, everywhere." 👉bit.ly/3J8SlyX
