And I love hearing about new renewable electricity records as spring unfolds. A few recent examples for that last love: California scored a new record for total generation from renewable energy in mid-April and a new record for solar production in mid-May. Spring tends to be a time when there is lower electricity demand.

Spring is a glorious time for renewable energy. Whatever the weather in March and beyond—in-like-a-lion blustery or out-like-a-lamb sunny—spring tends to be a season of strong electricity production from solar and wind in particular. The biggest factor is simply the growth in the number of solar arrays and wind farms.

While it is a heavily polluting fossil fuel that is set to continue declining as a fuel source for US electricity generation over the next decade, coal still accounted for roughly 20 percent of the country’s generation in 2022. Fuel transport – Spring floods can hinder the transportation of fuels like coal.

Natural CO2 refrigeration at the ice rinks to 100% renewables-powered venues are just some of the technologies implemented. Cooling ice rinks. For the first time at any Olympics, China is using CO2, collected from industrial waste gases, to cool ice rinks in its four ice sports venues. Fully powered by renewable energy.

Coal-chemical plants, for example, could switch to using hydrogen from renewable energy for producing chemicals such as methanol and alkenes. There is huge potential for developing renewable energy in Inner Mongolia, which could be used to power other industries. Power importers are likely to prefer green power.
