From the article
According to the [Federal Energy Regulatory Commission](https://cms.ferc.gov/media/energy-infrastructure-update-october-2024) and the U.S. [Energy Information Administration](https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/), more than 30% of the nation’s [utility-scale electricity generation](https://www.publicpower.org/system/files/documents/Americas-Electricity-Generation-Capacity-2024.pdf) capacity comes from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower. In other words, if all power plants in the country operated at full power capacity, 30% of the energy sources would be a blend of those renewables. That number is expected to climb to 37% by 2037, which shows how quickly renewables are proving to be viable in the marketplace.
Good, Oil Barons make enough as is and cause a lot of damage with plastics in oceans and rivers. Once we get off the oil kick, it should help cleanup the environment (outside of nickel mining).
Key word here is “capacity”.
Which is totally misleading because nameplate capacity is an engineering number known with absolute certainty even before any renewable project is even started.
There as absolutely nothing “revolutionary” and totally obscures the main criticism of renewables: their intermittency, time correlation and real produced energy.
Renewables are a way forward, but there is no need to blatantly lie about their problems.
Suspiciously sensationalist and spammy source…what is The Cool Down?
Science illiterate dreck. Connected capacity is not generating capacity.
Too little, too late. Enough warming in the pipeline for at least +10C by the end of the century, and that’s not accounting for tipping points and slow feedbacks. Oh well, at least we tried?
