And another reminder that a transition of the U.S. to 100% WindWaterSolar across all energy sectors reduces private annual energy costs to Americans by 63% (giving an energy-cost payback time of <6 y) and total social energy costs by 86% (payback time <1 y).

And a 3rd reminder that a transition to 100% WindWaterSolar across the US reduces land use due to energy from 2.4% of US land (1.16% occupied by the fossil industry & 1.24% occupied by the corn-ethanol industry) to ~0.85% of land, with most being open space between wind turbines

It's obvious at this point

Astrology girls are going to be so obsessed once they learn that solar cells are literally crystals that harness cosmic energy.

Right. A bit more about what we’re up to. Would love feedback, do stick a comment at the end. Link below (because of X’s anti-news bias.)

NEW ANALYSIS | Spain is successfully decoupling electricity prices from gas power costs 🇪🇸⚡️ Spain reduced the number of hours where electricity prices exceed gas costs by 75% since 2019. As a result, Spain's electricity prices were 32% lower than the EU average in H1-2025.

The reduction in hours where prices are determined by gas costs has protected Spain from the rise in gas prices. Other countries with higher reliance on fossil fuels, like Italy, the UK or Germany, have seen their electricity price increase substantially since 2019.
