China is on track to reach a fully renewable energy system by 2051, nearly a century earlier than the United States, according to a global study covering 150 countries.

The actual same metric is here. It is not surprising that large countries produce the most.
Very helpful. I’m surprised by Canada at 64 %. We have such short days in winter when we need the electricity the most that solar and wind don’t produce that much.
Hydroelectric.
I always end up looking like I hate green energy because I’m critical of wind and solar, but geothermal and hydroelectric are actually super practical.
It’s because of the vast hydro power in PQ. Also, windmills work at night.
Yeah, but the wind dies away at night.
does the wind depend on long days?
Partially. The wind dies down to almost nothing at night so a long night means a longer time with no wind production.
ah. the wind is definately different near me. I sorta wonder though how constant or not they are at the elevation of the turbines. I almost always see them moving no matter the wind. I had heard they actually to much wind and they have to be turned off but I think anytime its been storming that bad I have not paid attention to them.
Interesting. I never considered the height of them. I’ll have to dig into that.
