Wind turbines and solar panels produced 10% of global electricity in 2021 but coal also had a resurgence.

The research shows the growth in the need for electricity last year was the equivalent of adding a new India to the world's grid.Solar and wind and other clean sources generated 38% of the world's electricity in 2021. For the first time wind turbines and solar panels generated 10% of the total.

"The Netherlands is a great example of a more northern latitude country proving that it's not just where the Sun shines, it's also about having the right policy environment that makes the big difference in whether solar takes off," said Hannah Broadbent from Ember.

A large majority of the increased demand for electricity in 2021 was met by fossil fuels with coal fired electricity rising by 9%, the fastest rate since 1985. "What we're seeing right now is gas prices across Europe and across much of Asia being 10 times more expensive than they were this time last year, where coal is three times more expensive.

I love that we are moving towards renewables but people should look into,where and how the panels are made, how they affect the land they are placed in and how they will be dismantled after.Perhaps a simple design change (removable section)would help in the recycling process.

Do you still believe in this?

Whatever happened to Mr. Tesla’s “free energy”?

ClimateScam

elonmusk If we covered the equator line on earth with current solar power technology tech, then there would be free electricity for the world!, the only costs would be the initial outlay and service/maintainance costs.... Why arent we doing this now? 🤔

How will we save the oceans? Will, there be a way to remove the carbon from them or the atmosphere before they are gone?

Not good enough. They won’t replace fossil fuels at this rate. Need a massive investment by gov’t.

It's too bad 10% isn't enough to 'run things', and only works 'sometimes'. If ya'll were responsible, you'd be 'aiding' the coal/oil power sources while you 'refine' wind and solar until they can reliably fill all needs... planned obsolecence marketing won't work here.

RevathyPurusho2 Energy Demand surging with increasing population, so does the demand for food will increase. Without rich Soil, we cannot produce enough food in future. Great technology but no food to eat is not a world we should leave behind SaveSoil

It might be soon yet, maybe the first think we should manage is the storage of these produced electricity's, what if no 🌞 for some days or no wind .Or we should Invent another power energy that it doesn't exist at this time clean and powerful too.

Looking forward for nuclear fusion reactors, wind and solar aren't sustainable enough

What about nuclear power plants ?

about time, lets not fuck up the planet for the next generation I'm looking at you, boomers

Nuclear energy : you need less of it for more power, it’s cleaner, and it’s just better!

Thank bitcoin for the demand. People talk shit about how bad it is for the environment without realizing how the incentives model encourages renewable energy innovation.

joerogan says that technologically wind and solar energy are not the solution 'The wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine'. This is becoming a fact. how do you see it?

Talking about climate change!! This morning I had to use one pod in my wash instead of two, half of the Softener in the compartment, no heating on this morning, cold water to mop the floor instead of hot and this is just the start.

Doing so well that they made Putin rich and last month added natural gas and nuclear power to the clean energy list.

Hi

Is there an accurate calculator/formula that can give me an idea of what I can be producing at home? I have been wondering if its worth the investment and want to prove it with numbers.

frzss_token

No that won’t do! Wind and solar doesn’t produce a lot of electricity and it’s unreliable! We need nuclear!

And one strong wind storm and they are useless. All that metal and parts didn't come out of the ether either.

How's it going to recycle the toxic metals left behind after solar panels life ends because I'm not sure we are ready to have solar panels everywhere until we come up with a clean cradle to grave solution.

Modular nuclear reactors can be built quickly, go sub critical when the cooling systems shuts down, and some can reuse spent nuclear fuel from conventional nuclear power plants.

Solar is good for rooftops in some areas. Wind power, nobody wants the towers in their neighborhood. To power heavy industries and large cities, nuclear is the way.

What about a new kind of concrete being invented that can store energy from the solar panels on your roof. So the concrete foundations in you home are your battery. I have this patented A work in progress

The NIMBYS are always objecting as it 'spoils the view' or 'too close to the village' or endless other objections 🤷

Yet electricity bills are soaring all over the world. So whats the real play here.

Power all Crypto currencies with this type of solar electric power ..

With Russian oil/gas hate going on, expect the next big jump in energy production and usage. Fossil fuel not so cool anymore.

Hello world, professor! this is my experiment on wave interference of light. The wave interference of light is just an illusion of the combination of two light beams on the screen. On the way to the screen. Light forms straight lines.

I don’t know much about this and how it works, but you would think that Africa and South America could be solar powered for electricity better than most other nations

Solar panels don’t even need to be automated or placed at an angle due to Metamaterialtec solar panel technology which absorbs light effectively from all angles

Everyone!! lets spread a word or two about sustainable energy just to grab people's attention as many as we can

Hope people care about protecting wild birds when planning of the construction of the wind mills.
