It's Tuesday April 9th, and I'm delighted to report that today, 88% of electricity on the Spanish grid is coming from emissions-free sources (solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, etc.)
Další slunný jarní den a další rekord. Dnes ve 13:00 pocházelo ze slunce 27 % elektřiny v ČR. Uhelné zdroje dodávaly jen 19 %. Zajímavé je, že stejný podíl mělo uhlí i v noci. Fotovoltaiku totiž v noci zastoupily větrníky z Německa.
Podíl #fotovoltaika byl pravděpodobně ještě vyšší, protože část produkce se spotřebuje hned u zdroje a do sítě a tedy statistik se ani nedostane.
100% renewable #energy isn’t possible? Here's a list of 10 countries that are already at 100% renewables or close. There are 20 countries with over 90% #renewables. There are 33 countries with over 80%. Therer are 62 countries over 60%.
Premiere Danielle Smith is blaming the rolling blackouts Alberta is currently experiencing on...sit down for this...renewable energy.
Because the limitless energy of the Sun, and the weight of the entire atmosphere of the planet as it moves across the plains, are somehow going around Alberta and they can't use them...I guess...because...Trudeau, I guess?
"US experienced staggering growth in solar & wind power over the last decade. Nearly a 1/4 of the nation's grid now runs on #renewables, bringing the country closer to its climate goals.
Coal power has declined sharply, & the use of methane to generate electricity has all but leveled off. With the IRA poised to kick that growth curve higher with expanded tax credits for MANU & installing photovoltaic panels & wind turbines-."
#Slovakia plans to be coal-free by 2024, 6 years earlier than originally planned
Slovakia stopped production at its last coal-fired power plant this week. Its electricity will now come almost entirely from #nuclear and #renewables sources. The Vojany power station, located in the Michalovce district in eastern Slovakia, opened in 1966. Slovenské elektrárne, the company that owns the plant, announced that all of the electricity generated in the Eastern European country will be free of direct CO2 as of June 2024.
Scientists say recent east coast whale deaths were most often caused by fishing gear, ship strikes or disease.
These findings haven’t stopped opponents of renewable energy projects and fossil fuel front groups from spreading misinformation about the whale deaths as part of their work to obstruct clean energy projects.
In France at the moment, not only is their a legal requirement for car parks over a certain size to have solar panels, supermarkets with smaller car parks are now doing it voluntarily as it makes them money #renewables
Big Oil and its allies are attacking the International Energy Agency for forecasting a relatively imminent peak in fossil-fuel demand and the rapid uptake of #renewables
The fossil fuel industry is shooting the messenger, because the message contains the words "stranded assets".
If the banks hear that message, that industry is DONE.
