Erneuerbare Energien haben inzwischen die britische Kohle verdrängt, ohne dass der Gasverbrauch zunahm

now that coal is gone, next on the line is to reduce the share of natural gas ( around 25% of electricity generation) over the past 12 months) as well as biomass( 7.88%) and imports( 14.34%)

combined share of wind and solar in UK over the past 12 months is 35.62%, up from 14% in 2015

One of the few things we do well. Now we just need to pass the benefits onto the people

Meanwhile in Germany..

Can’t wait for the day the peg price of electricity isn’t based on oil/gas. 

It’s also weird that – on my electricity company (vattenfall) I elect that my electricity comes from Wind/Solar etc …

Yet I’m still paying the fossil fuel prices.

I get that at times the shortfall (if any) needs to be made up from fossil fuels still but what I don’t get is why my electricity isn’t priced at the renewable price per usage and then the fossil price for when that’s actually used. 

Surely changing that would dramatically increase the number of people electing renewable as their primary.

Oh noes, but they said it can not be done, they said there is not enough wind, they said we need nuclear power plants everywhere, they said….

What happened to the missing ~50TWh?

Why is solar not growing anymore?
