Donald Trump once called renewable energy “too expensive.”

Soon after, the International Energy Agency declared solar power the cheapest source of electricity in history.

What happened next reshaped the global energy industry faster than almost anyone expected.

Since 2010, the cost of solar energy has dropped by more than 80% worldwide, while global solar capacity has surged to record levels. In 2024 alone, the world added hundreds of gigawatts of new solar projects, led by China, the United States, and Europe.

Massive solar farms are now generating electricity cheaper than coal and natural gas in many countries, pushing governments and major companies to accelerate investments in clean energy at an unprecedented pace. Read More »

America is building the biggest battery network in history — and it's changing everything about how electricity works.

The United States is undergoing a battery storage revolution. In 2023 alone, the US deployed over 7 gigawatts of utility-scale battery storage — more than in any previous year in the country's history. Driven by the Inflation Reduction Act and rapidly falling lithium-ion costs, massive battery installations are now being built from California to Texas to New York, storing solar and wind power for use when the sun sets and the wind stills.

Battery storage solves the biggest problem in clean energy: intermittency. When a cloud passes over a solar farm or the wind drops off, batteries keep the lights on. Projects like Vistra's Moss Landing facility in California — one of the world's largest battery installations — can discharge enough electricity to power hundreds of thousands of homes for hours. This is no longer a technology of the future; it is operating right now. Read More »

Jahrelang habt ihr AfD-Jünger jeden zweiten politischen Gegner mit Pädophilie, Kinderschändern oder irgendwelchen kranken Verschwörungserzählungen in Verbindung gebracht.

Linke? Pädos.

Grüne? Pädos.

Pride? Pädos.

Regenbogenflagge? Pädos.

Beweise? Brauchtet ihr nicht.

Da wurde gehetzt, geraunt und verleumdet wie die Weltmeister. Die Unschuldsvermutung war euch ungefähr so wichtig wie Fakten in einer Telegram-Gruppe.

Und jetzt?

Jetzt taucht ein Ermittlungsverfahren gegen jemanden aus dem eigenen Stall auf und plötzlich seid ihr alle Jura-Professoren.

"Unschuldsvermutung!"

"Erstmal die Ermittlungen abwarten!"

"Nicht pauschalisieren!"

Ach was. Ihr scheinheiligen Heuchler.

Wo war dieser Respekt vor dem Rechtsstaat die letzten Jahre? Read More »

Mit der Bitte um Kenntnisnahme:

Warum wächst Atomenergie nicht wie vorhergesagt? Prognosen großer Energieagenturen lagen über Jahrzehnte deutlich daneben, während erneuerbare Energien unterschätzt wurden. Der Vergleich von Erwartungen und realem Ausbau zeigt ein überraschendes Muster. Dabei wird klar, welche Technologien tatsächlich skalieren und welche strukturellen Probleme ungelöst bleiben.

BREAKING: An ICE agent shot a man through a closed door, made up a story about being attacked with a shovel and broom for several minutes, and fled to Texas to dodge accountability.

Then the surveillance camera footage came out.

The whole encounter lasted 12 seconds. No prolonged beating. No three attackers. Just a bullet through a door, a wounded man, and a lie filed as a police report.

Christian Castro is now in custody -- arrested Friday with the Texas Rangers and DHS's own Inspector General present. It took Minnesota prosecutors, the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Texas Rangers, AND the DHS IG to pull it off, because ICE spent months defending Castro and calling accountability efforts "a political stunt."
