In July, Wind and Solar Produced More Power than Coal ...

... in the USA... and the same headline will be made in August, September, October, November, December, and all next year, etc.

The headline makes it seem that it's the result of vastly increased generation and/or consumption of "intermittent renewables" / VRE - the reality is that it's the result of lower production of coal for consumption in the US (most of it now is exported to China, India and other countries who are building more coal plants at furious pace) and shutting down coal power plants in favor of increasing number and use of gas-powered energy plants. NG ("fossil fuel" ? / "Green Energy" ? "a mother and a daughter") is now generating more than 45% of total energy in the US.

Wind and solar VRE can be used where it may be beneficial, particularly off-main-grid, but they've already have shown themselves to be TCO-expensive, requiring higher use of manual labor, recycling issues, environmentally damaging, etc. dead-end technologies for utility-scale installations (with batteries and "firm power" backup), and number of manufacturers and suppliers went bankrupt or wrote off $Billons as the saturation point has approached and demand for turbines and panels went down relative to hyped up projections - e.g.,
"Nov 15, 2023 " Siemens Energy reviews wind unit set-up after $5 billion loss | Siemens Energy may exit some markets and products of its struggling wind turbine business"

Because of geographic limitations of further buildouts, the use of hydroelectric power as a percentage of total energy generation in the US (currently at less than 6%) will also go down.
