I am thrilled at the ascent of those renewables. I am less thrilled that coal and gas are still climbing. Sadly it’s as if we’ve just increased total demand such that we need more of everything (except oil, but this is just electricity after all).
On a hopeful note, coal is declining as a percent
Between the two I’d prefer coal use over methane. Not that either is better than renewables, but until there’s enough supply we’ll have to do something. Unfortunately, the energy companies have been saying that for decades while simultaneously dragging their feet. Imagine how far ahead we’d be if Exxon and BP had went toe to toe on wind vs solar.
As long as there’s an uptick in renewable market share each year, I’ll be content. At least it’s being built faster than dirty power.
Why did we start using oil, coal and NatGas in 1985
?
This is a joke
