Change is coming: Electricity generation capacity additions are swinging toward renewables – and fast. Globally, zero-emission technologies accounted more than 90% of added capacity last year. Members of the Clean Energy Ministerial are doing even better, with renewables now accounting for over 95% their net capacity additions, up from 46% a decade and a half ago. And yes I know capacity isn’t generation.

Actually, many countries are re-thinking their commitment to "Net Zero"! Since no country has managed to come close to keeping theirs, you and the rest of the climate zealots, aren't going to like the results!

Capacity isn’t generation? As more renewables get put in the grid, it drives the capacity factors of existing fossil fuel generators down, down, and down!

And the storage at minimum power approach reduces the need for large transmission and generation infrastructure. Energy can be stored and released gradually, supporting a stable more sustainably and cost-effectively.

I've been following the UAE's steps in embracing renewables, and it's impressive. The UK could learn a thing or two from their forward-thinking energy strategy.

Deutsche Energiepolitik liegt im Hintertreffen - 90% neue Kapazitäten weltweit durch Erneuerbare Energien, während wir hier langsam vorankommen.

It’s capacity, but the generation is 20 % ish of the capacity and worse when you need it most, and still needs a full generating capacity backup for when it stops

Zero emission technology? The shameless green washing is totally out of control. Please show me a single solar panel created without emission.
