With the clean energy transition already under way, the US electricity mix is set to continue changing this year. Solar power is expected to make up about half of all additions of US electric generating capacity in 2023, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). I’ll start off with the good.

During the month of May, solar and wind power generated more electricity (30.6%) than fossil fuels (27.3%) in the European Union for the first time in history. In the meantime, fossil fuels went from 40-50 percent to less than 30 percent. Now here is the latest piece of evidence, from Ember.

Two-way charging could give vehicles like these the potential to stabilise power supplies by discharging stored electricity back to the grid. Across 30 minutes, 50 electric vehicles (EVs) discharged almost one megawatt-hour into the grid – enough electricity to meet the needs of 133 households for a day.

Besides the kilowatt-hours it generates, Glen Canyon provides key services to the electric grid. The country’s second largest reservoir and a lynchpin in the intermountain electric grid, Powell is more dirt than water these days. Hydropower generation will likely shut down when Lake Powell’s elevation drops below 3,490 feet.

This is a signal not only of the country’s unhealthy reliance on fossil fuels but also a failure to move away from gas in a way that other countries have done successfully. UK’s hugely inefficient housing stock means most homes and buildings do a very poor job of conserving heat. Now such a crisis has arisen again.

King Coal is still the first source of electricity , but this will be very temporary as wealthy nations are ditching it as fast as they can to the benefit or wind and solar. I wrote about it before, both solar photovoltaic and wind power are on exponential curves. These are good news for our climate and our common future.

We all know that to successfully address climate change we need to phase out fossil fuels and switch to electric power. A s we transition our homes and vehicles to electric power, it’s imperative that the electricity sector be clean. Take Action: Tell Ontario to phase out polluting gas power.
