If you haven't already seen the 2026 Ember report, you should at least look at the figures: https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/global-electricity-review-2026/
I remember hearing *so much* about how we will need a mixture of different renewable sources, and maybe that's true. But only solar is being adopted at an accelerating rate.
Solar and wind have been cheaper than fossil fuels for about a decade now. I wonder if we will remember 2025-2026 as the start of the big solar energy adoption.

@saethlin@hachyderm.io iirc solar has been on an ~exponential curve of adoption for the last decade, we just didn’t notice until the last couple years because it was still small in absolute terms
