A storm of malicious incompetence is currently brewing at the US department of energy.

Led by @SecretaryWright, there is a targeted campaign to mislead the public about wind and solar power.

Let's look at what's really going on with wind and solar in the US 🧵 Last year, the US had record additions in solar capacity and 2025 will likely set another record.

Solar, batteries and wind make up the vast majority of newly installed capacity in the US

NEW | Clean electricity surpasses 40% of global electricity generation

Our latest @ember_energy Global Electricity Review is out today! ⚡

Solar power is rising rapidly and doubled in the last three years ☀️

A (long) thread on the key trends in 2024... 🧵 Image @ember_energy Rapid growth in wind and solar has pushed electricity from low-carbon sources above 40% for the first time since the 1940s.

Back then, the electricity system was 50 times smaller than it is today! Image

The share of fossil fuels in New Mexico's electricity mix is falling off a cliff. It's down to a record low of 34% as of April.

Just two decades ago, fossil fuels produced 99% of the state's power.

Why you ask?

(1/5) Surprise (or not)! It's wind and solar!

In April 2023, the two sources were responsible for 65% of New Mexico's power generation.

10 years ago, in April 2013, it was 9.8%.
