Renewables produce 17.5% more electricity than coal in Q1 2020

https://www.solarpowerworldonline.co...al-in-q1-2020/

Coal is a loser's game in this country, thankfully, despite Donny's bad intentions. It's a dying source of energy. The sooner it's gone, the better off we'll all be. Just the health benefits of cleaner air alone are worth killing off coal. Sadly, it's still widely used in other countries.

Here in progressive CA, I notice more and more of the parking lot solar panel covers. Dual purpose, generate electricity while providing shade for cars. The Kaiser outpost I go to just put up eight long rows of these. Not sure if they're providing energy for Kaiser, or for the grid. Thankfully, my metro area has its own, community-owned, not-for-profit electric service, so we don't have to deal with PG&E, which lost its way via Wall Street a long time ago.

The electric service also has hundreds of acres of solar panels on underused former farmland throughout the area. We have some 300 days/year of sunlight, so solar is absolutely viable, especially now that it's become more cost effective than many other sources of power.
