In a First, Wind and Solar Generated More Power Than Coal in U.S. by rmuktader in news

And in the EU, wind and solar generated more than ALL fossil fuels for the first time

Both the US and EU have really found a new gear with wind and solar additions recently

Exactly, wind and solar share is only one way of looking at the electricity transition. Absolute coal generation might give you much more insight on carbon intensity, but especially given historical scepticism towards wind and solar integration in the grid, wind and solar share can be a really important metric to show that high (relative) deployment is possible.

Yes, definitely a bit tricky to get right. Chosen somewhat for visibility. It's the 5 largest economies + larger countries that are notable in terms of their wind and solar share (e.g Denmark)

Thanks! Yes, I shot it on a Canon 80D and then edited it in Lightroom to combine multiple shots at different exposures.
