“Only in America” capturing methane fugitive leakage from landfill dumps is now known as “Renewable Natural Gas”, proposing to pressurise into gas mains. How good will this be when small, private, dump plants are less careful to separate other gases?
Responding to needs of SS4CE(School Strike 4 Climate) and XR (Extinction Rebellion) in USA first then other countries as help needed.
The leading country by far for renewable energy investment in 2017 was China, which accounted for $126.6 billion, its highest figure ever and no less than 45% of the global total. There was an extraordinary solar boom in that country in 2017, with some 53GW installed (more than the whole world market as recently as 2014), and solar investment of $86.5 billion, up 58%. The world installed a record number of new solar power projects in 2017, more than net additions of coal, gas and nuclear plants put together. China has been the leading destination for renewable energy investment, accounting for 45% of the global total last year. Solar alone accounted for 98GW, or 38% of the net new power capacity coming on stream during 2017, with China accounting for just over half of that capacity.
Capability for particular retailer to compete as first tier generator to the grid has arrived. This really is a coordinated virtual power plant, based on residential solar PV and battery storage systems, displacing fossil fuel power.
The prospect of an electric car being power storage first and transport second is getting closer. Charge when price is low and feed into grid when price is high, plus have security of your own house power whenever grid power fails. How good is that?
So much for insistence they’re reliable. Problem is that they’re big also bigness is not down by a few %, they’re either 100% or zero, causing chaos on our very large grid.
World Champ winner…as much as 4 times above current world average (also too high for target to aspire to). How proud does this make us feel?
