Germany: 15 GW installed 2023
USA: 25 GW installed 2023
the US really is pathetic, you’re telling me we couldn’t even double the total installations of a country with what, like 5x less people, 6x lower GDP, and 40x less land? seems like the general increase hasn’t even changed from trump’s presidency either, are biden and a blue senate even pretending to improve things at this point?

Its authoritarian to improve the world
the one that sticks with me is China’s installing more solar panel capacity in 2023 alone than the US has ever.
EDIT: China added more solar panels in 2023 than US did in its entire history | Carbon Brief
