Gas power output nearly halves in California in one year as batteries steal the show | The Progress Playbook https://theprogressplaybook.com/2024/06/20/gas-power-output-nearly-halves-in-california-in-one-year-as-batteries-steal-the-show/ “In the 100 days to June 14, California saw a 45% reduction in #GasFired power output, relative to the same period a year before.

The decline was mostly thanks to a surge in #battery installations in recent months.”

The End of #Coal does not mark the end (or the beginning of the end) of #DeathByCarbon, but it may mark the end of the #DigitalGrifter and #Bitcoin Mining. #GasFired #Generation cannot be allowed to be a replacement for #coal and their insatiable demand for #Electricity.

E.P.A. Severely Limits Pollution From Coal-Burning Power Plants

New regulations could spell the end for plants that burn coal, the fossil fuel that powered the country for more than a century.

#GreenEnergy in 2022 (across whole year):

#windpower - 26.8% of all #energy generated

#Renewable (inc. #nuclear) - 48.5%

but... also #gasfired power generation - 38.5% (a three year high)

However the trend towards #renewables continues.... which in all this gloom has to be a bit of good news
