Khurram Wadee ✅Even thought the #UK is north of 50° latitude, on a #Sunny #Spring day, it is currently getting over 40% of its #Electricity from #SolarEnergy alone. Along with #WindEnergy, the share is over 60%. Meanwhile, #FossilFuels (gas) is at or below 10%.
Richard Michael Blaber@ChrisMayLA6 #Gas powered #electricity generation? And there was I thinking the aim was to "decouple" electricity #bills from the #price of gas, & base them on that of #renewables.
hrastSo y'all are saying that solar energy has, um, a bright future?
Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬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.

Rob PumphreyIn the UK, we have just seen 14GW of solar, 10GW of wind and only 2.5GW of gas.

If it’s profitable then they’ll invest—they’ll simply find new loopholes to offset their obligations, and fabricate whole new axes of victimhood to whinge about.

benrutterIf you're in the UK, you probably don't a graph to tell you this, but flippin' heck it's sunny! Almost 1/3 of the UK grid is currently coming from solar.

Fred NurkHi @[email protected], Great re: CAAD and that you debunk dis/misinformation. Please debunk article above re: wind farms in Victoria - where @[email protected] are based - and provide the truth re: subsidies etc.
Thanks in advance. cc @[email protected]
