Yeah, but only in the unknown region.
The shadow realm is actually mostly powered by solar now
Well I don’t know about that than.
Great example of how to pad your chart to push an agenda. Granted, I am for this agenda, but this kind of stuff definitely detracts from it.
Sorry, maybe I was too quick to jump on the hype train. Could you elaborate what's wrong with it? This might also be interesting to read spelled out for others.
Besides that first year jump by China, most of the growth there is in the Buffer/Unknown section. Remove it, and the chart looks a lot less impressive.
To be fair though, the legend doesn't mention all of Oceania, so Australia and New Zealand would be included in the buffer. So it's not necessarily invalid data
This graph does what every other predictive graph does, cuts the superlinear growth short just after one year. It's guanteed to be very wrong. At some point we will have way more solar than needed and it will severely flat out, but I don't think is even close it it.
Edit: I forgot to add the quote for those that don't know this Simpson's scene:
"Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continue...ayyye!"
Yeah but it wouldn't look as impressive that way. Amazing how you can manipulate data to fit whatever angle you're pushing.
When I read this type of projections, be it energy, money or whatever, it is always the next year that is exploding in volume
If course it is: it's always about them short term gainz
Good! Between regular renewables, I wish we had more fission development though as they are actually greener per kW produced interestingly.
Isn't China also building a lot fission power plants atm?
Didn't know that, cool!
🤞
I thought we just spent trillions of dollars on more renewables
Much water waste !!! To c’ean them up
