US is much more favorable for renewable energy than Germany, lots more wind, solar and hydro potential. How can we not be doing at least as well. There’s no technical reason. No practical reason. No economic reason. Just a bunch of gullible people manipulated by fossil fuel companies, a bunch of gullible people manipulated by outrage media, a bunch of gullible people manipulated by politicians. Idiots. All of them. Or evil
Yeah, I wasn’t trying to knock Germany. I’m German. But it’s far from 100%, we still have lot of coal (even worse, lignite) plants … and building more gas power plants. It’s just not an example if a 100% renewable country. Iceland was (but that got me downvoted, lol).
Anyway, it’s just lemmy. At least the debating about nuclear power doesn’t get you banned :S
As a resident of a US state with very little potential for renewable energy, we’ve been trying. Solar is gangbusters, but a few idiots keep blocking offshore wind and we’re at the mercy of other states for blocking us from building transmission lines to get some of that sweet Canadian hydro (probably just as well, given our current idiotic federal govt)
Yeah. I’m not gonna bother discussing this with you. Please start reading at get off of telegram and 4chan. I suggest wikipedia or other “mainstream” sources of information. Good bye
Pretty sure I saw news of the UK having 100% renewable energy days, and like a dozen US states believe it’s practical enough to have a roadmap …… and those aren’t the states with the highest wind potential
Edit …. And there’s California with 100 100% renewable energy days out of 144 analyzed
Nice try lithium lobby! You just want to ride the current wave of the “green” trend. Maybe try harder with “made using recycled lithium” stickers on battery powered devices next time!
Nice try petroleum and coal lobby, maybe try harder with the “clean coal” next time!
Are you drunk? Countries are already having 100% renewable usage days.
Yeah, tiny countries with very favourable conditions like Iceland.
Yeah, right. And the very favorable germany. Please get help.
If you think Germany is running on 100% renewables, you need help way more than I do.
59% over the entire year is a damn good start

You should take your own advice. It’s a pretty simple thing to look up.

We have a disinformation campaign running in here. Dont get discouraged. Something really crazy is going on in this place.
Nice try hydrogen lobby! You just want to perpetuate the production scarcity model. Maybe try harder with the “carbon credits” next time!
Nice try lithium lobby! You just want to ride the current wave of the “green” trend. Maybe try harder with “made using recycled lithium” stickers on battery powered devices next time!
