worth repeating.. >80% new energy capacity is renewable..wow!

Happy Friday to all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea. I hate to break it to you but >80% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar and wind. See the trend? Coal (black) and fossil gas (grey) getting squeezed more and more.

🆕 Renewables accounted for 30% of global electricity ⚡in 2023 according to Ember's latest Global Electricity review! We're officially moving into an era of declining fossil fuels and rising electrification. 📈 The world will need to reach a target🎯 of 60% renewable electricity by 2030.

99% of all US coal plants (209 out of 210) are more expensive to run (let alone build) than replacing them with new solar, wind or energy storage Coal is going to zero % of global electricity just as soon as enough renewables are built Study: https://buff.ly/3HdFG8X #climate

Wind and solar surpassing coal in overall U.S. generation is huge. In Alaska, we need to do everything we can to get more wind and solar online before our gas contracts term out -- not build expensive and dangerous new coal projects.

Lumps of coal for Christmas? Not this year! "In a first for the country, solar and wind generated more electricity than coal over most of 2024. The two renewable energy sources provided a record 17 percent of U.S. electricity from January to November, while coal contributed 15 percent, according to data from think tank Ember."

U.S. Wind and Solar Overtake Coal Power. In a first, the U.S. saw wind and solar supply more power than coal last year, according to a new analysis. But even as renewables made gains, U.S. emissions stayed flat owing to rising demand for energy. https://lnkd.in/d6vvsB_T

Space Based Solar Power, as both a generation and distribution platform, can solve this sort of problem. The intermittency of renewables needs the carbon free baseload solution that is SBSP. Texas Is Running Out Of Electricity https://flip.it/EOv1W9

Electricity generated by #renewables soon to surpass that generated by #coal is indeed good news. The less good news #IEA chart tells us is that renewables will not replace coal, but will satisfy the increased demand for electricity. Total #CO2 emissions related to electricity generation will not experience a meaningful reduction, what will decrease are CO2 emissions per unit of TWh of electricity generated....still a step in the right direction.
The rise of renewables – like solar, wind & hydro – means they’re set to overtake coal in global electricity generation for the 1st time in 2025 This may result in a small drop in CO2 emissions from the power sector in 2025, after a slight rise in 2024 👉 https://iea.li/4dDt75u
