I rapped my knuckles on the galvanized aluminum exterior to make sure it wasn’t some sort of desert mirage. It was solid: $400 million worth of concrete, electronics, and steel assembled to rotate a thick rubber belt along roughly 66,000 metal rollers. Something on the order of 13 million tons of sand can be carried the entire length of the machine—42 miles—each year.

Ercot today set a new #solar record: 27,036 mw. Pretty much all of that has been added in the last five years. That's like building & adding 11 nuclear power plants to the grid. If you need power fast, it's got to be solar. 🌞🌞 https://t.co/MuMmcIeU2I
