There’s been a whirlwind of progress in the wind industry. We now have 42MW of operating offshore wind capacity—and another 35GW in development. Collectively, that will be enough to power 13M homes.🏠

Our local EE deliverer, @BayREN_Official, just raised incentives for an induction range to $750. Today Pres. Biden signs the IRA, creating a federal incentive of $840. That's $1590.
Meanwhile, you can buy one at Ikea for $1400.
So, free range anyone?

The DOE Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) came out when I was on vacation. Lots of interesting data, but this one jumped out -- the market penetration of LED lighting has been astoundingly fast, jumping from 4% to 47% in only five years. https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/
Check this out -- you can get an induction cooktop with a granite surface, so it blends in with a counter. Crazy.

A BIG deal: The U.S House just passed the #InflationReductionAct, a $369 billion investment in clean energy and tackling climate change that will reduce U.S. carbon emissions 40% by 2030. Thank you @RepBarbaraLee, @RepSwalwell, and @RepRoKhanna for your hard work and support!
Hey @votesolar, here is the sun playlist to end all sun playlists.
