It is a new era, and has been for a while. 50% of new capacity globally has been renewable since 2012 and keeps growing. It was 92.5% last year and almost certainly higher for 2025.
In the US it was 99% wind, solar, batteries.
The people talking this down are in an info-bubble of their own creation.
- metalman 9mo agofirst time I got current from a photo voltaic cell taken out of an unsuspecting light meter as a child I knew that this was better than magic. off grid experiences in the early 1990's, full time off grid in 09 or so and a guy on a harley pulls in, friendly at first, then gets to raving about solar panels and how they should be banned, no why in that, just a reptilian existential crisis in the door yard, which seems to have become contagious, the unfortunate part is that they seem to have a lot of guns, and tanks, and ships in there info bubble, the only positive part is that they have no magic, or aything as good, or better and I hope they hurry up and loose now.
