Half of US solar capacity came during Biden administration

the White House’s top climate advisor Ali Zaidi said, “Half of the solar
installed in the United States [was] installed in the Biden-Harris
Administration,” which aligns with a report by the clean energy nonprofit
Solar Energy Industries Association.

Solar energy is also becoming cheaper, according to Boston-based clean energy
company EnergySage. During the first half of 2024, the firm quoted clients
less than $3 per watt, the lowest price in a decade.

Zaidi credits the Inflation Reduction Act, in part. “The leading indicator of
the IRA’s success, and frankly, the theory of change is bringing back
manufacturing jobs to the United States,” he said. “Now we are seeing
factories showing up on the ground.”

So you're "Arguing" that the amount of absolutely FREE energy has
increased by 50% in less than four years, even as energy prices
have increased.

Wow. What a great argument AGAINST alternatives:

"The percentage jumped up 50% and THAT raised the prices you pay!"

bullshit he pays the media to say about
him and his company...

Last coal powered plant here shut down 7 years ago, so you're
wrong as always... about everything.

Trump hates Biden's climate law. His allies are making money from it

At least seven of Trump's close allies are significant beneficiaries of
green tax breaks.

[L]et's take the most simple case of a normal distribution that is
shifted towards the warm end by a given amount - say one standard
deviation. Then, a moderately extreme temperature that is 2 standard
deviations above the mean becomes 4.5 times more likely (see graph
below). But a seriously extreme temperature, that is 5 standard
deviations above the mean, becomes 90 times more likely! Thus: the
same amount of global warming boosts the probability of really extreme
events, like the recent US heat wave, far more than it boosts more
moderate events.
