This is incredible. It's one thing to hear numbers like gigawatts and percentages of total generation, but seeing these photos gives an idea of the scale required.
The photos of drones installing the panels especially stood out to me.
It's easy to feel that China is ahead here, but it's important to remember it's a small lead using technology and expertise that we all have access to. The only thing that matters is political will to get it done.
