The right’s hatred of solar and wind power is deeply stupid and it makes no sense at all. There’s a reason China is installing more of these power types than anything else.

As of 2024:

• China installed over 217 gigawatts of solar just in that year, which is more than the entire cumulative U.S. total in its entire history.
• The United States has around 160 GW of total installed solar capacity, ever.

China has over 600 GW of solar now, while we’re still crawling with less than a third of that. And slowing down due to utter fucking moron MAGA clowns.

Solar and wind are now super-cheap, efficient, and far cleaner than fossil fuels. Despite a lot of you living in the late 1970s, they’re not some hippie pipe dream. Nope, it’s hard economic pragmatism. Even authoritarian regimes know renewables are the way to go and in fact are the future.

Get out of 1979, idiots.
