Uh, HRC won the PV soundly.

And Harris barely lost the PV, and that was with all the tech bros/GOP fascists rigging.

So we already really did elect one female pres back in '16, and probably in '24 too, and everyday more sexists die and more normal people come of voting age.

Australia's target of 82% renewables by 2030 has long been dismissed as impossible.

Batteries and domestic solar are putting it within reach. Tech improvements, cost decline are important. But so is government policy. Nice one, @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social, keep going.
"Blows your mind:" Regulator says boom in home batteries and PV puts 82 pct renewables within reach
Regulator says surge in home battery and rooftop PV installations puts the 82 pct renewables target back in reach because it reduces the burden on large scale projects.

🌞 Solar just keeps getting better!

The latest NREL PV efficiency charts highlight record-breaking solar tech:

⚡ 33.9% – Longi’s perovskite-silicon tandem
⚡ 27.09% – Longi’s heterojunction back-contact
⚡ 23.64% – First Solar’s thin-film CIGS
⚡ 47.6% – Fraunhofer ISE’s four-junction cell

alternative: PV Cell sounds like gundam tech and that's pretty cool, so we can use that
If we're in another star system working on a solar panel and you go "erm technically you should say 'photovoltaic cell' when we aren't orbiting Sol" im gonna reach for your fucking neck cuff

Latest on solar panels for cars (still a while off from rollout, but interesting nonetheless):

"A roof‑integrated silicon PV system typically provides 10 km to 15 km of daily range for an efficient electric vehicle under northern European conditions, according to Oxford PV."
Oxford PV says tandem solar could add up to 5 km to daily EV range
Oxford PV has joined Nissan’s SUITE consortium, advancing perovskite-silicon tandem solar tech that could boost vehicle-integrated solar EV range by an additional 3–5 km per day and push total daily s...

It is a strategic tragedy that all the investment “geniuses” in the U.S. decided to pull their money out of clean tech AND the govt is crippling public support of clean tech at *precisely* the moment that clean tech is taking off globally and it is clear that PV, batteries, and EVs are the future.

Exciting times for solar! First Solar is ramping up perovskite tech, aiming for 30% cell efficiency by 2030. By 2027, the U.S. could have 17 GW of capacity. Plus, thin-film PV could deliver power rivaling 17 nuclear plants! It’s a game changer for jobs and clean energy. 🌞💡

Wir haben uns für einen Renault Megane E-TECH entschieden. Der Wechsel ergab einfach Sinn, nachdem wir seit Juni PV und Wallbox haben. Für die geliebte Schwedenreise werden wir nun aber einen Dachgepäckträger brauchen. Der Megane ist doch weitaus kleiner als unser feiner Prius Plus 😢

“Visit a heat pump” - I LOVE this idea. I expect that the greatest champions of clean energy are the people who live with the tech.

Next editions could be “have a spin in my E-bike”, “look at my PV app!!” and “come for a drive in my EV”.
My team @nestauk.bsky.social has designed and delivered Visit a Heat Pump, a UK-wide service to help people see a heat pump near them and learn first hand about what it's like to live with one.

6 months in we’re sharing what we’ve learnt: www.nesta.org.uk/report/seein...

From 2004 until 2015, Germany was the global leader in PV - in installations, production and technology. Due to corrupt government policies in Germany, production, tech, and installations went to China.
Thanks for nothing, @CDU, @CSU, @fdp, and parts of @spdde such as @sigmargabriel.

Based on the Senate's latest draft, highly mature light water reactor tech (commercialized for >50yrs) will receive 100% tax credit through 2031/2032 (necessary to restart US industry), but any advanced PV tech (e.g. perovskites) will receive zero subsidy past 2027.

Solar's rapid growth is driven by plummeting costs—solar PV down 90% since 2010, making it the cheapest power source globally. Add falling battery prices, mass production & tech innovation, and the S-curve adoption accelerates. 50% of global energy by 2030? It's not impossible.🌞⚡ #SolarPower #Energy
It’s the S-Curve, stupid: New model predicts half of world’s energy will come from solar by 2035
New modelling corrects “three huge mistakes” underpinning traditional solar PV projections and smashes the myth that global energy decarbonisation will cripple the economy.
