Dear Reader,
Solar energy continues to shock with its meteoric rise, stymying forecasters who consistently underestimate its growth. Energy insider Nat Bullard has this to say about it: “Every year this decade, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has had to revise its solar deployment forecasts upwards. And not just by small amounts. Actual installations have been as much as three times higher than the agency predicted five years ago.”
Bill McKibben (read Bluedot’s interview with the climate icon here) has called the rise of solar energy one of the most overlooked stories. In a Substack column he titled “Silent Solar,” McKibben wrote that “Solar panels have, over the last months, suddenly gotten so cheap that they’re now appearing in massive numbers across much of the developing world. Without waiting for what are often moribund utilities to do the job, business and home owners are getting on with electrifying their lives, and doing it cleanly.”
Need some more sunny news? Solar panels are now mandatory over parking lots in France.
Curious about solar power for your home’s use? Check out Bluedot’s “Panel Discussion” for answers to common questions. And tap EnergySage for quotes from reputable solar installers near you.
On this Feel-Good Friday, the future looks bright, folks! The solar train shows no signs of slowing down.
Radiantly,
Dot

Gold can be a solid bet in uncertain times |
 |
|
Investors have historically turned to gold because of its stability. Gold can act like a safety net in your portfolio because its value tends to stay afloat – even when the stock market dives. It’s also considered a hedge against inflation, meaning its value can rise as the buying power of cash goes down. Check out our list of top-rated Gold IRA providers, including some that offer educational materials for gold-investing beginners. |
