The U.S. solar industry expects to add a record 32 gigawatts (GW) of production capacity this year, up 53% on new capacity in 2022 and helped by investment incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, a report published on Thursday showed.

32 GW is a lot. The average thermal coal generating station in the US is 1GW and these stations have an average capacity of 50%. That means that this colar prodution capacity enables us to displace 64 coal stations during the daytime if consumption does not grow.

    Well isn’t the world a small place!

    Only critique I have is: you should have kept to AMD.

      The mid-range at the time for AMD re: motherboard or CPU wasn’t spectacular, and I wanted dual Intel GBE on the motherboard, otherwise I totally would have (my actual desktop machine is AMD)

        Just messing with you. I’m a self confessed AMD fanboy but I respect some will want to try other hardware or have specific wants or needs.

        Nonetheless: AMD is the best!
