ERCOT demand is up 5% year-over-year & 23% since 2021 with nearly all of the demand growth being met by wind, solar & batteries, according to EIA. Solar has gone from a barely perceptible sliver to nearly 15% in only 4 years, with most of the growth in the last year. 1/2

Good morning with good news: Why did global EV sales skyrocket 26% in 2025 for Jan-Sept, reaching 2.1 million sales in September?
LEAF 2011 versus Leaf 2026 shows why: HUGE EV improvement with a 33% price drop.
EV innovation also is just starting!

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

Today in Texas solar provided more than one-third of the power for 8 straight hours, peaking over 29,000 megawatts at 1:25 for the 3rd highest total ever.
Last night, batteries set an all time record @ 7.3 gigawatts.
Despite an 80 GW peak, prices have been <2.5c/kWh all day.

It took 68 years to build the first 1 TW of solar, just 2 years to add the second. At the current pace, we’re on a 1.5-year doubling curve: 4 TW by 2026, 8 TW by 2028, and 10–14 TW by 2030. Panels aren’t the limit anymore—BESS & lithium are. ⚡☀️🔋 #EnergyTransition #Solar #BESS #Lithium #LFP
