Renewables Top Coal

This remarkable graph (larger version below) shows that, for the first time in history, renewable energy has surpassed the combustion of coal in the U.S. grid-mix.

This is an important reminder that things aren’t hopeless, regardless of what we may think, given the constant messages we receive as to the warming of the planet and its consequent droughts, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, etc.

Big money is doing everything in its power to prop up coal and prevent its disappearance, but there is no power on Earth that has the capacity to do that, given present-day market conditions, and the world’s growing concern about environmental ruin.
