  They still have a shitton of thermal (e.g. burning hydrocarbons of some sort) baseload, but it’s really shocking to see how quickly renewable capacity has been added. Anyone want to do the capacity factor calculations on this to see where they really are?

      The sky is generally bluer than water.

      I dont get the pink shit though. Hydro should be a brackish green blue.

    That almost looks like exponential growth in solar and linear in thermal.
