Last month, the country’s deputy minister of energy, Gàbor Czepek, said more than 300,000 solar power plants were operating across the nation, with over four-fifths of the existing capacity installed since 2020.

Solar energy production in Hungary reached a new peak on June 13 this year, Czepek added, producing enough energy to serve the country’s domestic electricity requirements entirely from renewables.

The switch to renewables is inevitable at this point. The only question is how long Big Oil and their lapdog politicians will be able to delay it. Every day of delay is going to cost countless lives.

Yup it's already proven to be cheaper, easier to make, lowe maintenance. It's why even the reddest of states and their electricity concerns have already switched huge chunks over. The Midwest is covered in wind turbines for that exact reason. It's better for them to do it, even if oil is being paid off. At this point we're just handing out subsidies and essentially bailouts to big oil because they're refusing to modernize.
