A new report from the firm Ember indicates that the up-front cost of solar power has sunk to a point where it is more economical and accessible than coal or natural gas. ^[1] A Shiba Inu mega whale wallet transferred 600 billion SHIB tokens worth roughly $3.09 million. ^[2] Sergio Marxuach argues that the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz demonstrated that relying on imported fuels is a strategic vulnerability rather than just an economic problem. ^[3] Aligned Climate Capital announced the first close of its ASP7 fund, targeting $500 million to acquire construction-ready solar and storage projects totaling 500 megawatts. ^[4] Ember calculates that approximately 50% of Climate Vulnerable Forum nations have already leapfrogged over the US in solar penetration as measured by electricity demand. ^[5] The Climate Vulnerable Forum, a 74-member consortium representing over 20% of the world's population, accounts for less than 5% of global GDP and electricity demand. ^[6] On-chain analyst Ember stated that the whale wallet originally acquired 1.03 quadrillion SHIB in 2020 for 37.8 ETH. ^[7] The address still holds approximately 93.27 trillion SHIB, currently valued at around $478 million. ^[8] The whale has cumulatively sold 10.06 trillion SHIB, worth about $66.6 million at an average price of $0.0000066 per token. ^[9] According to the most recent annual report from the energy studies center Ember, all of the global net growth in electricity demand in 2025 was supplied by clean energy. ^[10] Sergio Marxuach is a columnist for the newspaper El Nuevo Día who wrote this opinion piece on September 3, 2026. ^[11] The article notes that the opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of El Nuevo Día or its affiliates. ^[12]
