Good morning with good news: Solar panel costs are now down to 12 cents per watt from $6 in 2000! Cheap solar triggers rooftop/small solar surge in many places, including Africa, Europe, & Asia. Small solar totals ~1.2 TW & growing rapidly! techspot.com/news/113860-sol…

‼️We need Pennsylvania to implement a statewide moratorium on data centers until strong regulations are in place. Urge your state Senator to pass House Bill (HB) 2496! secure.everyaction.com/nBo5D…

Solar serves fully big growth in Texas's electricity demand! Solar plus surging battery capacity is why the price of electricity was $30/MWh when the Texas grid set a new peak demand record of 91,000 MW! Solar & battery are cheap, clean & reliable. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

In Texas, solar+storage is fundamentally changing the power grid. The result? More abundance, lower prices and, yes, more reliability. From @liamdenning bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Green Energy Is Taking Over Red Texas' Power Grid

It seems the Trumpian recession in US green energy fails to apply to one of the more Trumpian areas of the country: Texas. Solar power and batteries are taking large bites out of America’s biggest...

Moving toward solar, yes! canarymedia.com/articles/ene…

PJM has finally greenlit a lot of new clean power. Can it get built?

More than 50 GW of solar, wind, and batteries can now connect to PJM’s grid. It could help drive down costs — if states, utilities, and hyperscalers make…

It's very very hot in Texas. But the grid is fine. Electricity prices are manageable. What happened? 🔋🔋🔋🔋BATTERIES!!! 🔋🔋🔋 heatmap.news/energy/texas-gr…

The Texas Grid Has Had a Boring Summer Thanks to Batteries

Temperatures are high, but electricity drama is low.

What Shapiro’s new data center order does — and doesn’t — force developers to do. No, it doesn't magically ban data center development. spotlightpa.org/news/2026/08… via @SpotlightPA

Bad actors can still skirt Shapiro's new data center rules, but he's betting they won't

The new order isn’t a moratorium, but it does make it much harder for developers to build data centers in PA without following strict standards.

ICYMI: Governor Josh Shapiro recently signed an executive order setting much stricter environmental & transparency standards for new data center developments in PA. This article from @SpotlightPA does a great job detailing what it does and doesn’t do. spotlightpa.org/news/2026/08…

PennFuture is encouraged by this executive order but now it's time for the legislature to finish the job & make these protections the law of the land. pennfuture.org/post/PennFutu…

PennFuture Applauds Executive Action on Data Centers

Now it's time for the legislature to finish the job and make these protections the law of the land — not something negotiated project by project.

Gas & coal plant outages in Texas are up 40% in the last 48 hours. Solar carried the day & batteries just set a new record at sunset. Gas plants are important energy resources but they struggle in extreme heat & cold. Better to have a diverse resource mix, as Texas does. 1/
