If your renewables are all hydro it's entirely Luck based and just means you stuck to the rivers and streams your used to and don't go chasing waterfalls.
maybe they did go chasing waterfalls and dammed them up
Petroleum for Hawaii? I know they don't have a lot of land but come on, it's so sunny there
yeah, the last i checked was the odd year wind was up in texas. maybe it was just a chart showing renewables idk
I'd be interested if it's offshore or onshore wind for Prince Edward island.
The USA just burning things.
It’s so windy in Wyoming how is that not their biggest source
too much wind can damage the generators. but like, they got hella wind farms too.
Wyoming may be hella windy above, but it's got hella coal below, and hella Republicans all over
Same problem with Texas. Large empty swaths of sunny West Texas are perfect for solar and wind, which generate more and more of the grid’s needs. But when the natural gas lines froze up one winter, and renewables kept things going, the Republican administration blamed solar and wind for the loss of electricity, not gas. Just making stuff up to support their strange love of fossil fuels.
strange love of fossil fuels
That's just straight lobbying money lol
Then again there's a lot more people in the US than in Canada, so the energy demand is higher in the former. Denmark is also often praised for covering more than half of its elecricity needs with renewables, but they have a population of only 6 million.
For TN and IL, are those wind?
I am color blind....but most of the colors just look like grey to me and its making it really hard to tell wind from solar from nuclear.
They are nuclear.
Thanks for the assist. Wish they were labeled like basically every other state/province.
Canada is hurting the waters by slowing down the currents with their hydro things! Boooooo (totally just being a troll)

What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
