Solar power is the cheapest electricity in history and in 2024 delivered 2/3rds of new capacity and 40% of new global generation. Yet myths, often politically motivated, are holding back its progress. @carbonbrief.org debunks 16 of of the biggest ☀️ myths👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...
Love mine, got them free with a grant and heat pump. Could have done with a few more but even so not paying anything for my electricity from May-September and paying off a big chunk of winter costs is fantastic.
I have solar. I live in southern NM. I run my air-conditioning day and night. I have an electric bill of $7. My neighbors are paying $200-$400 per month.
This figure does not include rooftop solar for home and businesses, but only commercial installations.
Plus it tamps down fossil fuel use deady emissions, 2025 a Win win right 👀
The biggest nuclear power plant we have is our sun. Better use it.

Every Southwest parking lot should be covered with solar paneled structural parking.
While engineers struggle to create small amounts of contained fusion power, we have a giant fusion power plant dumping free, easily-harnessed energy over the entire Earth's surface, just far enough away not to fry us, but close enough to harness. The sun.
Thanks to my new solar panels, my last electric bill was less than $50. That technology really works if you want to save money. The fossil fuel industry lies, they want your money.
And it saves Europe tons of money from not buying fossil fuels. Let's make it double again, faster this time!
Trump has shut down tax incentives for citizens to invest in solar energy and grants for solar research and development. The world is moving to solar and wind energy. Solar is the cheapest energy in history and its supply is unlimited. America will fall behind as Trump compels us to use fossil fuels
An acre of corn 🌽 Ethanol for an F-150 to go 75,000 miles, acre of solar electric F-150 750K miles
Thats acre of solar renews ever day and doesn’t have to be replanted. Doesn’t take constant upkeep , I say this as someone who grew up as a farmers granddaughter. It’s more work
Yes. It‘s a quote out of Bill McKibben‘s new book on solar, „Here Comes the Sun“. We have 110 solar panels and 14 acres of hay fields
I put in 20k worth of solar. It was expensive. That said, I don’t regret it for one second. I am required to be on the grid, which costs $40/mo. My neighbor’s electricity bills run $3-500/mo. - breaking even cost-wise in 2024. *Add to that, I’ve also driven for free because I have a Nissan Leaf.
If we end the billions in tax breaks to the oil industry, renewable energies would be the cheapest game in town
Good time to buy stock in solar energy. trump is just slowing it down. Solar energy is the future and the future is now.
While the United States is stuck in the dark fuel ages.
The acceleration has been great, but I fear the power needed to fuel AI is going to erase these gains.
Our solar has been the best thing we ever did. Our electric bill for August was 20 dollars and our monthly solar payment is 53. Most months we have zero payments and accrue credits to SCE. It’s the best
