Seriously trumps war in Iran is the biggest push for renewable at least of the decade. Similar things are happening in Pakistan, south Africa and the Philippines, people getting solar and batteries because fuel and this electricity is too expensive. Probably in other countries too.

Turns out the best way to save the climate was going to war in the Middle East.

PS: Fun fact: This is the second time this happens. The original Oil Crises not-so-famously led to a paradigm shift in Western fuel consumption through mileage standards and the like.

"Mierdas Touch" Trump enshittitified the oil sector. Now the power hungry data centers are the fossil fuel sector's last hope.
