Trump is going to tank US solar and wind acceleration, except if the Republican governors and congressmen whose states and districts are the ones benefiting stand up to him and stop him.

After he tanks solar and wind deployments and electricity prices rise, he will then turn around and blame solar and wind.

Isn’t it marvellous what you can do when untethered from reality and consequences.

This surge suggests a burgeoning acceptance of solar technology, which now represents approximately 7% of total electrical generation in the U.S., a significant milestone for the sector.

In particular, utility-scale solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies expanded by 32%, while small-scale solar installations, including residential rooftop systems, grew by 15.3%.
