Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
There was a hilarious story on one of the local bay area news stations the other day about "THE LARGEST SOLAR PROJECT COMPLETED" with no further qualifiers as to where and over what time period they meant. They showed some aerial footage of it, and it's basically some solar panels in an area less than the size of a football field. Apparently in the California that's a pretty big deal.
If only they'd look past their own noses to see what China has been up to in the past 20 years.
It's not even a big deal in California. Not too long ago I saw the big solar farm out near Blythe, coming back from a trip to Arizona. It's not even the largest one in the state, and it sounds like it dwarfs the one they're talking about.
Apparently California is pretty far progressed on its track to renewable energy?
What's shown on the image is california electricity generation in ~~April~~ May 20, 2024 (But the data is representative for all of April as well). Yellow is solar, red line is demand.
I don't have the source rn, I only have this screenshot stored on my phone.
I think the source is pv-magazine-usa.com?
