Most people don’t realize how much solar power China has installed. Enough to power half of America!

If China's 888 GW of installed solar operated at U.S. capacity factors, it would generate 44% of U.S. electricity. We have a massive irradiance advantage, especially compared to Southeastern China. The U.S. should dominate in solar, but we are getting absolutely smoked. Even

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Elon Musk's solar musings once again prove that even his offhand energy tweets can move crypto markets, albeit like a sunbeam nudging a glacier. ETH saw modest gains: 0.22% in 1 minute, 0.26% in 5, and 0.19% in 10, mirroring but slightly outpacing its May 9 reaction to similar China-solar chatter. DOGE wobbled with 0.27% and 0.39% upticks before fizzling to 0.06%, while GORK defied its usual meme-coin resilience by dropping 0.58%, 0.84%, and 1.60%—perhaps the market’s way of saying "solar power isn’t powering this rocket." Volatility remains tame compared to historical Musk-induced spasms: ETH’s 0.26% peak move is a yawn next to its 5% daily swings during crypto’s wilder days. DOGE’s 0.39% barely registers as a blip, though GORK’s 1.60% slide suggests some tokens are more sensitive to solar metaphors than others. Nothing says "efficient markets" like crypto prices mooning or cratering based on a billionaire’s thoughts about Chinese photovoltaic capacity.
