The scientific bases for all U.S. state laws and proposed laws to go to 100% renewable, clean, 0-C, and/or 0-emissions & the #GreenNewDeal https://t.co/pGaym7I46V https://t.co/YGWhmF0LYS https://t.co/p8savBkjTF The only way to do any of these is with #WindWaterSolar

From the last graph, it is clear that WindWaterSolar follows load (demand) seasonally far better than does a baseload (flat) electricity source such as nuclear or coal.

Every day is a new record. Two more 100% WindWaterSolar days for part of the day in CA, making it 213 100% days so far in 2025. CA will be 100% WWS 24/7/365 by 2037. PV and batteries are replacing gas rapidly. Gas down 18% versus 2024 and 37.4% versus 2023.

Busting a Myth: Clean, Renewables Lower Electricity Prices 11 US states met 51-120% of their electricity demand for the year between mid 2024-2025 with just clean, renewable sources. Of these, 10 had electricity prices at least 2 c/kWh below the US avg https://t.co/7n04zT3OVi

After 10 mon of '25, ~7 mon (211 days) with WindWaterSolar powering >100% of CA's main grid for part of day And look: Little wind Sat day but still 100% WWS Gas down 18% v '24; 37% v '23 Demand down 2% v '24; 1.4% v '23 Solar up 15% v '24; 43% v '23 Batt up 56% v '24; 199% v '23

Our good friend @mzjacobson busts the myth that high renewables mean high prices. The opposite is true.

Another 6 days straight and 208 of 300 in 2025 with WindWaterSolar powering CA's main grid for part of the day CA 54.24% in-state WWS for all of 2025, 3.87% higher than last year's 50.37%. At this rate, CA will be 100% WWS 24/7/365 by 2036. Gas down 18.5% v '24 & 37.4% v '23

CCS is a technology that fails from technology & economics. It only is pushed by fossil fuel industry to pretend. @mzjacobson Opposite to projections of WWS.
