2) Solar produces electricity during day only. True. But batteries shift solar electricity to night. Plus, PV eats away at daytime demand.

June 17, 2024: record battery storage discharged onto California's grid (29.52 GWh), all during night & day demand met mostly by PV.

All-time record shattered today in Las Vegas, beating the former record by 3 degrees F. Records that once seemed impossible, made possible - if not likely - by climate heating.
As I say, with climate change expect the unexpected.

The much-discussed slowdown in EV demand is hard to see in the data

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

The fact that Maine is now 62.5% #WindWaterSolar over an entire year, with a good balance of wind (22.27%), hydro (28.11%), utility PV (5.87%), and rooftop PV (6.25%) is encouraging.

Not far from 100% with more PV + offshore/onshore wind.

Only a captive petro-state would blow a once-in-a-century opportunity like this.

Climate impacts will make life less affordable, and could cause incomes to fall 18 per cent by the end of the century. We can limit the damage, and protect households, by investing now in proactive adaptation measures.

In 2024, investment is solar PV is set to grow to $500 billion, leading the transformation of the power sector

More money is now going into solar PV than all other electricity generation technologies combined

Vatican to become 8th country to achieve 100% renewables, @Pontifex says

“Humanity has tech means to face this environmental transformation & its pernicious ethical, social, economic+political consequences, & solar plays a fundamental role”

#Beryl is now a Cat 4 hurricane.
According to the WaPo,
"there is no precedent for a storm to intensify this quickly, nor reach this strength, in this part of the ocean during the month of June. Records date to 1851."

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

At what point do we call it the norm?

For the 98th of the last 116 days and for the 19th of 30 days in June, California #WindWaterSolar supply exceeded demand on the main grid for part of the day on 6/30.

Global energy investment is set to exceed $3 trillion in 2024 for this first time, led by the growth of clean energy

For every dollar going to fossil fuels today, almost two dollars are invested in clean energy

Some say Canada’s emissions are so small on a global scale, that anything we do doesn’t matter - so why bother?

It’s a position that aggravates me! So let me take a deep breath and explain why that’s such a wrong-headed thing to say….
