"The energy transition is dead!" Very well paid important people funded by the oil industry petrofascists. Meanwhile, one country in Africa imported enough solar panels in a year to replace 60% of its total power consumption. That isn't a transition, that is a tsunami. Get on board!

quick clarification: all of Africa’s imported solar WOULD be equivalent to 60% of Sierra Leone’s generation IF all of those imports went to Sierra Leone, they didn’t. It’s a slightly useful comparison for scale I guess but also such a weird metric.

Not how I interpret this. “The solar panels imported into Sierra Leone in the last 12 months, if installed, would generate electricity equivalent to 61% of the total reported 2023 electricity generation, significantly adding to electricity supply.”
