100% Of New Power Capacity In US Came From Renewable Energy In November (2nd Month This Year) - See more at: http://crooksandliars.com/2013/12/100-new-power-capacity-us-came-renewable#sthash.om5DffM6.dpuf
I got news of this a couple of days ago and decided to pass on covering the story since we basically already covered it 3 weeks ago, when the news was that 99% of new power capacity added in November would come from renewables. That somehow changed to 100% once the final figures were announced, but I figured it wasn’t really worth doing another story over a change from 99% to 100%.But the news has been blowing up across the internets, so I changed my mind and decided to quickly put this piece up.Notably, this isn’t the first month this year in which renewables accounted for 100% of new power capacity. The same thing occurred in March. Actually, in March, solar power alone accounted for all new power capacity.Nonetheless, this is great news, and it deserves to go viral. And it would be great if this happened every month!
remembers republicans made fun of Pres. going green they actively fought against it only sighting Solyndra which like all business had the potential of failure come true but that was a company not the act of cultivating green fuels.
right wing doesn't want it because their big bucks are tied up in big oil for decades green fuel drops and eventially phases out their golden goose.
they are not thinking of the future in this country they have the mind on their money and their money on their mind.
Here are the full details from FERC on the split for November:
- 0 natural gas power plants placed into service = 0 MW
- 0 oil power plants placed into service = 0 MW
- 0 coal power plants placed into service = 0 MW
- 0 nuclear power plants placed into service = 0 MW
- 0 waste heat power plants placed into service = 0 MW
- 1 water power plant placed into service = 4 MW
- 4 wind power plants placed into service = 81 MW
- 1 geothermal steam power plant placed into service = 25 MW
- 8 biomass power plants placed into service = 108 MW
- 14 solar power plants placed into service = 177 MW
Reagan the republic hero twice removed, removed Carters solar panels from WH, how much stock did he own in big oil?
