IRENA report renewable energy now one third of the world's capacity - 1 views

  •  
    Renewable energy now forms one-third of the world's total energy capacity, according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The agency found that 171GW of renewable energy was added to the global system in 2018, with an annual increase of 7.9%. Two-thirds of new power generation capacity added in 2018 came from renewables.

Energy security: can the UK handle a calm, cold, cloudy snap? - 1 views

  •  
    The perennial argument for maintaining significant fossil fuel capacity is this: when the wind doesn't blow, and the sun doesn't shine, and the mercury drops low enough that the whole country simultaneously dials up the thermostat, then renewables on their own are not enough to keep the lights on
