Sam, Electric Viking tells about Tesla Electric’s Megapacks, also about a 2 year waiting list, which will be reduced when the Megafactory opens in China.
Sam (the Electric Viking) tells us about a Renewables futurist and how China is installing renewables that are the equivalent of five nuclear power plants *a week*!! China has surpassed 1 Terawatt of solar capacity in 2024. Global installed solar capacity has hit two terawatts! It took 68 years to reach 1 Terawatt Solar capacity,

Quote: “”DaveMary Myers From my state of Iowa these wind farms besides providing over 50 percent of Iowa’s power, they also send power over long transmission lines to other states such as Illinois and Wisconsin. They’ve built them and they work. If they weren’t profitable they wouldn’t be building them here. It has made for
