2025-03-22 List Ranks Countries By Wind/water/solar Power As A Percent Of Total Electrical Use
The US is down low on the list. One reason is because the US has 96 nuclear power plants that generate about 20% of the total power. But new wind and solar are being built in many states so the US will be higher in the list as years pass. Here is the source of

2024-12-21 Solar Finally Goes Exponential
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,

2024-11-20 China Not Approving Coal Power Plants, Instead New Renewables Being Built
China is installing renewables and battery storage at a record pace. Sam Electric Viking tells us all about it – 10.7 min. video. China has installed more solar this year than the rest of the world combined.
2024-10-27 Solar Panels Caught On Fire – very uncommon
Typical media overhyping a single incident. The solar farms are very safe, they almost never have a fire. But the mainstream media makes such an issue out of single incidents that it makes viewers think that this is common. But it’s not! https://www.facebook.com/reel/9165455713487056?mibextid=9drbnH
2024-09-24 Solar Goes EXPONENTIAL – Surpasses Even Tony Seba’s Predictions
Sam Evans the Electric Viking’s 13 min. video extolls the virtues of solar and how even more is being installed than last year. Predicted 593 Gigawatts! It’s even exceeding Tony Seba’s predictions.
2024-05-29 Solar Panel Controller To Charge Lead-Acid Battery
This is a simple charge controller that includes a dump load to dissipate excess power from the PV panel. D1 is the reference voltage that feed the 393 comparators, and its forward voltage changes with temperature. It would be better to use a low power LM317 to give a stable 1.25 volts. Instead of a
