A line graph depicting the average number of days it took to install a gigawatt of solar energy capacity worldwide from 2001 to 2023. The vertical axis represents the number of days on a logarithmic scale, spanning from 1 to 1000 days. The horizontal axis indicates the years from 2001 to 2023. In 2004, the average time was about 1 year, which is marked on the graph. A downward trend shows significant decreases in installation time over the years. By 2010, it took under 30 days, and by 2015, just over 7 days. The most notable point is in 2023, where it dropped to about 1 day on average for installation. The data source is attributed to IRENA (2024), with calculation by Our World in Data, and the chart is identified as CC BY, indicating it is licensed for sharing and adaptation with appropriate credit.
In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day

51 countries in the Energy Charter Treaty, which has been used to shield oil and gas investments from climate regulation, agreed to allow the lift of protections for fossil fuels, while keeping them for renewables.
Now that governments at #COP29 agreed the #NCQG, which sets out future goals for international climate finance, the focus turns to how they will be delivered.
Here are my thoughts, featuring more MS Paint graphics that I know @ed-king.bsky.social loves so much:
