Politics is holding us back, right?
Solar and wind with battery storage now match coal costs and beat gas prices globally, according to IRENA. Clean energy is finally achieving cost parity with fossil fuels.
Only 5-7% of US households have rooftop solar. Balcony solar offers an accessible alternative for renters and homeowners facing installation barriers

@Streetsweeper@urbanists.social Now #republicans are saying that solar panels and other components of renewable energy are made in China and therefore a threat to national security. But they rescinded executive orders by Democratic governments promoting the development and implementation of #renewableEnergy in the US. They think it is smart to extract and sell all #oil before attempting an #energy transition. They are that simple minded. Never thinking on the consequences.
