Wind now generates more electricity than coal in the US
(shrug) there's less coal and more wind than there used to be
I would not describe this chart in that fashion.
Very nice!
Now let's do oil!
I'm sorta in a hurry to lower Co2 emissions (collectively).
But those accumulate to about 120 kmw/h. What happened to the other 60? Is the US just way more effective or are there other sources?
Most of the rest is made up by increases in solar and natural gas. [Hydro and nuclear are also in the mix, but they have stayed relatively constant]
Thanks for the quick answer.
I've got the feeling that energy efficiency and reduced consumption are often heard as arguments bad seldom actual factors.
I think they both make contributions but they balance against increased population and new uses of energy like AI and cryptomining
Solar, natural gas, nuke, and hydro are the other big players in the US grid.
