For the First Time in the U.S., Renewables Generate More Power Than Natural Gas

Mit der steigenden Erzeugung von Erneuerbaren entkoppelt sich der Strom- vom Gaspreis. Bereits im März lässt sich diese Entwicklung deutlich anhand der Zahlen bei Energy-Charts vom Fraunhofer ISE ablesen. „Noch ist der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien aber insgesamt nicht ausreichend, um deutlich unabhängiger von geopolitischen Schocks sein zu können“, sagt Leonhard Gandhi.
How Finland has replaced coal power with wind in less than 10 years.
Power utility company Helen officially decommissioned its Salmisaari plant in Helsinki on 1 April, dropping coal to a less than 1% share of the country’s energy mix.
The closure of a coal power plant in Finland today brings the country to the brink of a full coal phase-out - four years ahead of schedule.

💡 Who really controls energy decisions?
The idea of energy citizenship is gaining attention, but do we truly have a say? A recent study reveals:
✔️ It’s not just about supporting energy policies—opposition is also a form of engagement.
✔️ Decision-making happens at all levels, not just in small communities.

‘Breakneck speed’: Renewables reached 60 per cent of Germany’s power mix last year.
Reducing coal usage and making permits easier has helped renewables become “the backbone of the system” in Germany.
@sleepy62 It works in one place doesn't mean works in another.
All countries are not sunny☀️ , or windy💨 , or under a volcano🌋 , then ¿where from we take the power?
Some times can't use what you want, have to use what you have.
If California would have the half of #SolarTime, ¿would reach the milestone?
Example: Germany, removed all nuclear reactors to embrace the green power, today is burning tons of coal by a lack production power on grid.
Nuclear power isn't the solution, but sometimes we crash with reality...and your #EnergyMix
