Meanwhile (as it's 02:44 UTC, 12 June 2025) Australia is probably getting over 100 trillion watts of sunlight.

oil and gas?

and coal.

You raise a good point, though.

They point to a blend of public, private, social, and political patterns of corruption in the California solar energy market.

1. Clientelism and favoritism: Hiring friends or family over others for solar projects and unfairly allocating government contracts or permits to project developers, which in one instance led to an investigative report questioning the influence of a sexual relationship.

2. Rent-seeking and land grabbing: Redirecting public funds or lands to benefit private developers and taking communal or public land from Indigenous peoples or other groups for energy infrastructure siting.

3. Service diversion: Withholding local benefits, such as lower electricity bills, or distributing locally generated power only to higher-paying parts of the state.

4. Theft: Forceful removal of flora or cultural artifacts, or disturbing animal habitat, to build solar project sites.

5. Greenwashing: Misleading the public about a solar project's environmental benefits; using flawed environmental or cultural impact assessments to evaluate project impacts, such as pollution of nearby waterways; and overriding environmental protections to fast-track solar infrastructure expansion.

6. Tax evasion and avoidance: Not paying or underpaying taxes, or governmental authorities strategically failing to adequately allocate project funds to communities impacted by solar project development.

7. Non-transparency: Hiding, manipulating, or failing to disclose relevant or important information surrounding solar projects, such as the local economic benefits and environmental impacts.

even though, IIUC, more Californians voted for Trump than those in any other US state.

He forgot to turn it off when the wind wasn't blowing.

 

According to this, California has twice the power installed than Texas; and Massachusetts, Vermont, Hawaii each have 3.5x the percentage of energy run by solar than Texas.

I just got this from reddit:

Renewables covered 95% of Portugal’s power needs last month

As of March 2024, India's cumulative installed solar capacity reached 82 GW.

so about 70 watts per Indian?
