Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.
Rest in Peace, Jane.
Thank you for your wisdom, humor, and guidance.

Just look at what happened with solar investment - it’s astonishing.
Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

One solar panel of 30 kg replaces 8 tonnes of coal (or 40 barrels of oil) and 25 tonnes of CO2
Let me show you:
Every solar panel has a number of wattpeak or Wp, that indicates what it produces in "ideal" (1000W/m2) sunshine conditions.
So in ideal conditions it would produce 1W x 8760 hours per hear = 8760 Wh = 8.7 kWh. In reality it's much less of course, if only for the night.
The average worldwide and in the US is 1.3 kWh/Wp/y
iea-pvps.org/wp-content/uplo…
So a new 500 W solar panel that is supposed to last 35 years produces 1.3 x 500 x 35 = 22 750 kWh.
Coal contains around 8141 kWh / ton, but before you get electricity you lose a lot. BP introduces a factor for that of 2.83. So a ton of coal contains 8141 / 2.83 = 2886 kWh. You need 22750 / 2886 = 7.88 ton to replace a solar panel.
Including mining and refining the emissions per kg of coal, gasoline and diesel are all around 3 kg of CO2.
(For gas it depends: at least half as bad as coal but for fracking gas it can actually be worse. scijournals.onlinelibrary.wi…)
I'm writing this now because I'm just back from a writing holiday and I find a lot of nonsense about how fossil fuel is more efficient in my timeline. Maybe this can serve as a post to refer to when fossil fuel nonsense pollutes your timeline.

Every month at Cleanview, we track new power projects that come online across the US.
In July, 99.7% of new power capacity came from clean energy and storage projects.

Solar's rise is the fastest in the history of electricity
It's not stopping - and can't be stopped - and will dominate electricity consumption by 2035, everywhere

Nobody is close to "admitting" anything, other than what was found by the people who actually did the work to analyze the root causes of the blackouts - FERC and ERCOT. The primary issue was weatherization of natural gas infrastructure, and poor cold weather performance of all generation sources, including wind and solar. The issue wasn't an over-reliance on wind an solar, but an over-reliance on natural gas - which failed miserably.

American solar manufacturing is surging — new factories, homegrown jobs, and American-made power.
This is what the reconciliation bill would destroy.

It's peak demand time right now in Texas. A thousand megawatts of gas & coal plants have gone offline TODAY, more than 10,000 total. Plenty of power bc solar is cranking out >23,000 megawatts ON PEAK. Your policy is one of energy subtraction that will hurt grid reliability and raise costs.
We want the lights and air-conditioning to work all summer long, ESPECIALLY at peak demand time.
With @POTUS advancing energy addition, NOT subtraction, we will be able to do so for the hottest summers to come.

Wow. Looks like Texas ‘destroyed’ their grid with the green new scam. Sad.
"ERCOT officials predict the lowest chance of power supply emergencies in years... 'because of the contributions of new resources on the grid,' ERCOT CEO Vegas said...
"Battery storage increased fourfold while the amount of solar generation doubled."

Solar and storage ARE American energy dominance.
No other energy sources come close.

A 10 Year Phase Out for solar and wind subsidies would work.
The 10 year plan gives us until 2035 to replace the amazing growth of solar and wind. It also gives the industry time to adjust.
The truth is we don't have a choice. See the chart below.
Natural Gas plants take 5-7 years to build. The 10 Year Plan gives us a buffer.
If we don't do this, AI will data-centers will move offshore. Just like us, they will have no choice.
American Energy Independence FTW!
Million Solar Stars retweeted
American Energy Independence is critical to our national security.
The new bill will drive solar and wind energy growth to zero. Zero.
Where are we going to get our energy from to compete with China?
We will need 25 new natural gas plants built per year to replace our amazingly successful solar and wind energy growth that this bill will kill.
Do the math. It takes 5-7 years to build a natural gas plant. The AI race will be won or lost in the next few years. Our energy grids are already collapsing.
We need more energy now, not in 2032.
American Energy Independence goes away because of a grudge against solar?
Come on guys, we can do better than this.
