The International Energy Agency released its annual World Energy Investment report this week. The intergovernmental agency has found that investments in energy have increased across nearly all categories and are expected to hit $2.8 trillion. As has been the case since 2015, investments in clean energy sources are greater than those of fossil fuels, with over $1.7 trillion in clean energy investments this year. Those energy investments include electric vehicles, nuclear power plants, heat pumps and other related products.
The agency notes that the gap between the amount invested in clean energy keeps increasing versus fossil fuels, a trend that’s been ongoing since 2019. Of particular note are investments in solar power, which are expected this year to exceed investments in oil production for the first time since the agency started tracking investment. That’s despite the fact that fossil fuel investment is expected to grow 15%.
“Clean energy is moving fast – faster than many people realize. This is clear in the investment trends, where clean technologies are pulling away from fossil fuels,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement. “For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, about 1.7 dollars are now going into clean energy. Five years ago, this ratio was one-to-one.”
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

Imagine if just 20% of all American homes had solar panels installed on their homes. Think about the savings. The thing about solar panels is it converts the solar energy into electricity almost instantaneously with very little maintenance and installation costs. And as battery technology improves every year, the ability to save the solar energy for nighttime use is becoming more practical.
Gas is old technology.

Many homes with solar power sell their excess back to the power companies.

I would love for everything to go green energy so when climate change keeps happening I can point and laugh at the idiots
Whether it is a good idea or not we are not supposed to dispute....going forwards we are to do as we are told.
I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
DARK AGES SUCK!
