For the first time, renewable energy generation beat out coal in the US
It doesn't really matter if renewable generated more energy than coal for 1 day. What matters is annual generation.Renewables generates 5 times less than coal annually and still peak for a short period of time, so this is not a big progress. Wind turbines can have big energy peaks when it's very windy, but there is no cheap way to store that energy for a long period of time, WHICH IS WHY NUCLEAR IS THE GREENEST BASELOAD ELECTRICITY.And solar also requires a lot of copper and steel, which makes it carbon cycle much worse than nuclear.
