Encouraging for :

97% of new US power plants are carbon-free. The US is pretty much only building these days, & mostly solar & batteries -but the pace still needs to pick up.

In the 1st half of this year, developers & power plant owners built 20.2 GW of electricity gen. capacity, a 21%⬆️from the 1st half of last year.

The majority of new capacity added this year is from solar, battery storage, wind, & nuclear projects.

Canary Media · Chart: Almost all new US power plants are carbon-freeThe U.S. is pretty much only building clean energy these days, and mostly solar and batteries. That’s good news — but the pace still needs to pick up.

Our state's major utility just got unanimous approval from the state PUC to expand three gas plants. Really depressing considering the extreme solar potential.

@KimPerales
Battery storage is not power generation. They are inflating the numbers.
