99% of new US power generation capacity in 2026 is predicted to be from renewables. This is what has the oil, gas and coal industries so spooked.

@ianbetteridge Not to be Eeyore, but those projects were probably started under Biden/IRA. The 2028 numbers will probably be a lot more gas-turbine oriented.

@BashStKid @ianbetteridge I doubt it, gas turbine orders have a six year backlog. What will happen instead is Trump will do his best to kill further renewables rollout to protect his fossil fuel funders. This will likely lead to a short fall in generation (at least until the AI bubble pops).

@ianbetteridge reagan was Their Friend 45 years ago. As soon as he moved into the White House he had the rooftop solar that Carter had installed off there immediately.

@ianbetteridge If this place can make it happen despite the protestations of fossil fools... Despite their disgusting plans. Just to spite them even...

@ianbetteridge *This* is where everyone should be saying "It's coming whether you like it or not, embrace the future or be left behind".
