This… actually doesn’t seem like some bullshit accounting. Like, the country actually was running 100% on wind/solar/hydro with ‘combined-cycle natural gas power plants’ as a backup:
“The availability of natural gas power plants ensures the National Electrical System’s necessary service continuity whenever required, whether for market balance, supply security, or occasionally providing a cost-effective production solution, facilitating a safe and sustainable transition to an electrical system increasingly based on renewable production sources.”
This is pretty amazing.
All of the countries that use the most power are nations of innovators, we can switch to renewables if we try. Here is a hippie version of renewables at home, if you put a coolness factor on it, this could take off in a great way. https://www.ruralsprout.com/produce-renewable-energy/
Nope. I’m here to tell you this is a lie and we need more oil. This post is sponsored by ExxonMobile, the producer of the loveliest sludge destroying your planet and future!
