Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

@christina-cooke.bsky.social I loved your article in Bitter Southerner mag! It was a compelling story of Patrick Brown’s purchasing the plantation in NC that his ancestors were enslaved on. I loved that he is pioneering regenerative ag, industrial hemp production and more! I want to visit the farm!

In North Carolina, a Black farmer purchased the plantation where his ancestors were enslaved— and is reclaiming his family’s story, his community’s health, and the soil beneath his feet.

In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day

A line graph depicting the average number of days it took to install a gigawatt of solar energy capacity worldwide from 2001 to 2023. The vertical axis represents the number of days on a logarithmic scale, spanning from 1 to 1000 days. The horizontal axis indicates the years from 2001 to 2023.

In 2004, the average time was about 1 year, which is marked on the graph. A downward trend shows significant decreases in installation time over the years. By 2010, it took under 30 days, and by 2015, just over 7 days. The most notable point is in 2023, where it dropped to about 1 day on average for installation.

The data source is attributed to IRENA (2024), with calculation by Our World in Data, and the chart is identified as CC BY, indicating it is licensed for sharing and adaptation with appropriate credit.

Considering that a significant percentage of farm land is used to grow corn for ethanol, this visualization really call the logic of that into question. But I’m all for covering parking lots with solar before farm land.

Trump’s trade wars are going to reduce homebuilding and raise prices, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) says in a letter they sent to Donald Trump: “We respectfully ask that you consider the effects of tariffs…that you exempt critical construction materials from such actions.”
