NEW | California just reached a world-first solar milestone Over HALF (51%) of electricity generation across the whole month of May came from solar power. Battery storage is the big difference maker, enabling California to push the share of solar generation to this level.

@TeleCricket @scyldberry @cricketwallah ODI cricket is going the same way given the ICC push to limit World Cup and limit fixtures to only the big teams. No vision!

We did in fact set a new battery record in Texas last night. Two years ago when the grid reached a new 5-minute peak demand record, we had nearly 4,000 megawatts of batteries deployed. Last night it was nearly 12,000, a 3x increase in 2 years! #txlege #txenergy

I would not be surprised to see a new net load record, higher wholesale prices, *and* a new battery record this evening but we'll see soon enough! We already have the new demand record and first time ever over 90 gigawatts. It's an extraordinary day on the ERCOT grid. End/🧵

@TheERDoctor Weird tactics by England after taking the lead to waste their superior athletic capabilities. I was watching for Messi, but just bizarre to think a skilled player won’t find a way. Too many chances conceded.

@Pharmdca the referees ignoring a clear whistle situation (ball hitting camera cable) was unfair to Norway. They were able to detect Croatian players hair against Portugal, but not this. What a joke. They favor England Portugal etc.

@AmrikanDesiAnon @randomvichar Isn’t this an over reaction. They just won the T20 WC. Let us give them some time to experiment and settle.

It didn’t end the way we all hoped… This summer brought unforgettable moments, packed stadiums, watch parties across the country, and thousands of voices coming together behind one crest.

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year. That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer. FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset. US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records. So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros. Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability. Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business. They will not.

“And every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that we’d dominate if we had a stronger youth program.” “And will we develop a stronger youth program?” “We will not.”

Pay to play. Travel over training. An incentive to coddle not coach. Youth soccer is broken in America, the USMNT keeps proving it true. Column for @espn espn.com/soccer/worldcu…

@JaredSandler In 36 years of watching US Soccer, it's probably the worst game I've ever seen a US team play - except for maybe the T&T qualifier in 2017. (But IMO worse because of how well the team had played up to this pt)

Just not good enough. In trouble literally from the 1st minute. A clear regression from our first 4 matches. I think/hope the WC is still a substantial net positive for US soccer, but we have to aim higher.

There’s a bifurcation at play here. US clearly still well behind as a soccer country in terms of generating talent. But soccer fandom clearly on the rise here. That’s a good sign for the future.

I don’t want to hear that the future is bright for American soccer. That they should be proud. That was a disgusting effort. We’re far closer to the bottom than the top. Just not a soccer country
