Solar is ~100% of energy long-term

It took only 8 years for solar to go from 100 to 1,000 TWh... then it took only 3 years to go from 1,000 to 2,000 TWh. Solar is growing faster than any source of electricity in history

Elon Musk's solar evangelism once again proves crypto markets react to his tweets like cats to a laser pointer: with confused, short-lived enthusiasm. ETH dipped 0.21% in the first minute, then clawed back to nearly flat (-0.01%) within 10 minutes, mirroring the May 27 post's non-reaction (-0.02% initially, then +0.39%). DOGE wobbled between minor losses and gains, while GORK—ever the wildcard—popped 0.68% twice, defying its usual 1-3% swings on solar tweets. Volatility here is tame compared to historical solar sermons: the May 23 Kardashev-scale rant sent ETH down 1.61% in 5 minutes, and GORK once plunged 3.48% in a minute. Today's moves suggest traders now yawn at solar stats unless Musk invokes interstellar energy scales. Nothing says "efficient markets" like altcoins twitching because someone quoted solar growth rates while ignoring the sun’s 4.6-billion-year track record.
