Solar power and batteries account for 60% of planned new U.S. electric generation capacity​

Power plant developers and operators expect to add 85 gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity to the U.S. power grid from 2022 to 2023, 60% (51 GW) of which will be made up of solar power and battery storage projects, according to data reported in our P…

The other 40% will be from oil?

The other 40% will be from oil?

And other sources. Surely you've heard of them.

And other sources. Surely you've heard of them.

Of course, natural gas generation is the backbone of the "green economy".

Have you heard of any nukes coming online this year or any massive hydro projects?

It would take 12,772 whirlygigs to make up the 31GW

Haven't been paying much attention. As a general proposition, NG is big in the U.S. not only adding to the total capacity, but replacing coal, and to a lesser extent oil.

You did specify "oil" as the other 40% NG is not oil.

It's the same fucking basket.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

It's the same fucking basket.

And to some, coal is also in that basket.

When I deal with language, I prefer to deal with words, not baskets. I'm sure that if your point were different, you'd be losing your damn mind screaming that NG is not oil

 

[petros]

Is that why you don't touch numbers?

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Is that why you don't touch numbers?

Almost impossible to find 'em hereabouts.

And the brighter wits among us will note that I said nothing about numbers, but rather about words.

Looking for a fight?

Just curious.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Just curious.

That you are.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Never argue with a lawyer.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Never argue with a lawyer.

He'll charge you.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

My brother-in-law is a lawyer.

The family has tapped him numerous times for advice and advocacy over the years. A mechanic is another good guy to have marry into the fold.

I'm sure that'll go well.
