I've no issue with the title.
It's a pretty big milestone on the journey.
Non-renewables are going to be around for a very long time, as the sun and wind can't be turned up based on demand - but kind-of nice to see them relegated to surge duty, rather than the core of energy production.
- handmodel 4y agoI can see it both ways. I think people who follow this stuff closely understand it without even having to click on the article. But I have noticed an attitude among most non-news junkies of "I don't get why not everything is renewable - it literally is just as easy - must be bribes by oil execs". And I assume most non-news junkies who end up seeing that headline will assume it means California is 100% powered by solar and wind.
- pydry 4y agoIt's not like oil and gas execs werent working to inhibit this. This milestone could have been reached years back. E.g. tariffs on imported solar panels have been around since Obama. The only reason they couldnt stop this future was because the plunge in price was so precipitous.
