Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One NoticedThe next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.www.bloomberg.com

Jokes on you Iran, it's impossible to humiliate us if we have no sense of shame or awareness of current events.
