It supplied more than 40 percent in the Netherlands and 35 percent in Greece.

    Electricity.

    Not fucking power.

    Lemmy is as bad for misinformation as anywhere else. The impulses that drive people to re-imagine reality in an image that suits them is not confined to right-wingers.

      Where are you seeing anything about energy? it says power — which includes, but isn’t limited to, electricity.

    Headline is aweful and misleading. In April, Solar was highest energy source FOR TRAILING 12 months. That it was more in June, likely means solar was highest energy source for trailing 12 and 14 months. FF electricity is dropping off significantly in Europe. Even more down this year than it was in 2023/2024.

    This is such extreme incompetence in reporting from Yale.

        June is a milestone as well. Even though its highest solar production month, there is often a decent AC demand that can use peakers.

      Solar/wind & batteries will become so cheap nothing else will be able to stay in business. Already happening. Smart investors all going there.

      Most of it wind/hydro/nuclear. Sure coal and NG combined was higher. But they are both declining rapidly.
