    I saw a post in passing (can't find it now). Suggesting the world is adding 1gw of solar capacity every 12 hours. That would mean 730GW of solar per year. My mind is struggling to comprehend just how big that is.

    That's an incredible scale of deployment. Gives me a tiny little tingling of hope.

    (Ps if anyone finds the reference, that would rock).

      @quixoticgeek A quick search gives multiple articles claiming 814GW was added in 2025. The primary source for that figure appears to be this article: https://ember-energy.org/latest-updates/world-adds-a-record-breaking-814-gw-of-solar-and-wind-in-2025/.
