I'm not an expert in this sector and won't pretend to be here, but becuause both of these are on the HN front page right now, I'd just comment that this article seems much more convincing.

- sharemywin 4y agoFirst the article is flat wrong: How much of U.S. energy consumption and electricity generation comes from renewable energy sources? In 2021, renewable energy sources accounted for about 12.2% of total U.S. energy consumption and about 20.1% of electricity generation. Not 9%. Second higher gas prices won't effect energy decision which seems to be one of the assumptions of the article? It takes a lot of time for industrial energy to change course.
