Soaring #solar and a surge in #hydro push more #coal off the #US #electricity grid
As has been the case for a while now, the biggest trend on the US grid was the growth of solar. Compared to the same quarter the year earlier, solar was up by 24%. On its own, that was enough to offset 80% of the rising demand. Overall, the output of the major #renewables (#wind, solar, and hydro) grew by 11% compared to same period the year prior, or about 1.8 times the growth in demand.

131. Finnieston Crane

🧠 The disused crane is such an imposing feature of the skyline in that area.

⭐ I like the composition - how you can see a bit of the Hyro peeking out and Exhibition Centre train station that's used by many people going there for gigs.

➡️I'm not entirely happy with the colouring and light settings but I was in a rush to get this one up so I'm going with 'good enough'.
