Solar and batteries

This is the industry I’m in now :slightly_smiling_face:

Some highlights:

[T]he most important change [regarding climate change], by far, is the advent of cheap renewable energy, particularly solar power and batteries.

Together, cheap solar and cheap batteries mean that as of 2023, even without any subsidies, solar power is cheaper than most other ways of generating electricity — even when you factor in energy storage. Natural gas and wind are the only real competitors…

Meanwhile, beyond the U.S.’ borders, the solar revolution is perhaps even more dramatic. Most EU countries are now expected to hit their 2030 solar targets years before 2030. And developing countries are racing to add solar as well…

As Stripe founder Patrick Collison pointed out, this is among the fastest deployments of a new technology in human history…
