The same scenario has played out with the power plants that use fossil fuels, predominantly methane (“natural”) gas, delivered by pipelines. The electric power system is trapped by gas-dependent power plants that cannot obtain gas when it needs it to keep the lights on. It’s a vicious feedback loop.

First off, some facts and figures from Ember, which recently stated that both fossil fuels generation and CO2 emissions from the European electricity sector fell 19 percent last year alone. Renewables now account for 44% of the EU electricity mix and wind power is now producing more electricity than natural gas.

All those fossil fuels thus have to be imported, and this has an impact on both prices and carbon footprint. . — Solar and wind. According to a paper published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2015, Puerto Rico has 840 megawatts of potential wind power and only 120 MW of installed capacity.

And EIA projects the capacity of wind power, already the largest source of renewable electricity in the country, to grow 4.7 Solar and wind together will leap past coal With all that new generating capacity, wind turbines and solar panels will be producing appreciably more electricity than in years past.

In the early days of the current price shocks, fossil fuel boosters blamed clean energy and climate policy. In fact, it is abundantly clear that this is a fossil fuel energy crisis and, primarily, a natural gas crisis that is mainly affecting Europe. The Capacity Story.

Energy Information Administration reported-- in our January Short-Term Energy Outlook , we forecast that rising electricity generation from renewable energy resources such as solar and wind will reduce generation from fossil fuel-fired power plants over the next two years. The forecast share of generation for U.S.
