100 days of 100% renewable then shows an image where demand is in excess of renewables.

30% renewable power is really not a lot at all. If that's the best America can do in the best state. That's really shocking. Richest country in the world with some of the best solar and wind resources of any country and they are trying to make out 30% is a good figure.

Are you misreading something? According to the graphs, renewables generated 120% of demand during the day and still around 50% at night with no solar

I get what they are trying to say but it doesn't read like that.
