Solar energy has become the cheapest electricity source globally and is driving the largest energy growth surge ever recorded — IEA data shows solar accounted for nearly 60% of all new energy demand in 2025. The poster's characterization of this as positive is subjective but grounded in real market and efficiency trends that have accelerated sharply since the Iran war disrupted conventional energy supplies. One missing detail: coal plant retirements in the U.S. have actually slowed despite the solar boom, meaning the energy transition isn't happening uniformly across sectors or regions.
