That's up from just 22 billion kilowatt-hours in 2020.The surge in solar power isn't just about more panels on rooftops; it's also a story of falling natural gas usage.

Elon Musk’s vision of other automakers licensing Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has hit a brick wall. In recent comments on X, the CEO admitted that no one is interested in adopting the technology.The idea was once touted as a key part of Tesla's future business model.
