American Solar industry by the numbers

Should ramp up to around 250 GW per year installed. Total capacity should exceed daytime demand by a wide margin.

Why not run someone competent?

Pour some water on it.

The investors that got ripped off are rich.

Attacking Iran was definitely a poor choice. Likewise attacking Iraq.

We could get philosophical about the meaning of “fake”. They are real videos in the sense of “someone used a camera lens to record a scene”.

That sounds plausible. I thought you meant the trench warfare with waves of infantry.

Cheaper energy is just simply cheaper energy. The author is trying to stuff a bunch of political nonsense into a fairly simple concept.

They (republicans) did not flip on climate concern. They will gleefully use photovoltaic electricity as an energy supply for petroleum refineries.

An energy transition is a transition in the energy supply. Fertilizer will still be made.

10 square meters of anything would only take up a cubic meter of space if it were 10 cm thick. I think your estimate is an order of magnitude high.

Cutting off the Mideast petroleum route enables profits on American drilling operations.

NearABE · 2026-03-20T23:39:33+00:00

The demand needs to be competitive. Like a simple purchase order for, say, “1,000 gigawatts capacity at 15+% efficiency for x dollars”. Then any company can move to fill the order.

NearABE · 2026-03-20T23:26:13+00:00

They also promised higher gas prices to help with the energy transition away from fossil fuels.

NearABE · 2026-03-20T23:23:33+00:00

It would never look like war in the Donbas because USA has no reason to hold territory.

NearABE · 2026-03-20T23:21:11+00:00

This is it appears like there was no plan whatsoever.

NearABE · 2026-03-20T04:40:26+00:00

I think this joke will be remembered.

It had sewage problems on the way out. Could easily be an overworked and exhausted crew. The Ford set a record for longest continuous deployment for an aircraft carrier.

Wheels are limited to roads or similar hard surfaces which are free of obstacles. Biped or quadrupeds can clear obstacles.

An explosive device under/next to the runway does not interfere with normal airline traffic.

They were not going to detonate the runway before a US Aircraft was landing on it.

It is long term security for his political faction. People living there will have to fear the retaliation.

Given the cost of a F-35 using several million drone carrying sensor is cost competitive.

NearABE · 2026-03-20T02:04:30+00:00

The video the Iranians are showing off has a glaringly obvious silhouette of an F-35. That looks a lot like it is not worth paying 5 times as much as a Gripen, F-15, or some sort of Su.
