I posted the same solar facts on two social media platforms: One sparked discussion, the other, disinformation

One hundred solar panels per second reflects extraordinary technical progress. A platform that simply fosters noise over truth does not.

On 24 July 2025, I posted the same statistics about China’s majority share of cleantech manufacturing in global markets, and China’s massive installation of solar panels in one month, on two different platforms: on X and on Bluesky.

China manufactures around:

85% of the world’s solar panels  
80% of batteries  
68% of wind turbines  
70% of electric vehicles, and  
65% of energy storage systems

In May 2025, China installed nearly 100 solar panels per second.

Responses came in quickly, and what happened was, on one hand, educational, and on the other, confronting – and the contrast deeply disturbing.
