Another New Record in the Deployment of Renewable Energy

The migration to renewable energy is happening far faster than most people realize, and, to those who somehow can’t see this, I normally suggest simply walking outside and looking around.  Of course, that’s a bit glib; what can most people see in their neighborhoods, other than a bit of PV on people’s roofs?

Here’s an idea that can’t miss driving home the point: visit Portugal.  This sunny, coastal country has solid solar and hydro resources, and recently operated its electric grid for 107 consecutive hours (four and a half days) with 100% renewables, i.e., without a single Joule of energy from fossil fuels or nuclear.

It’s happening all around us.
