2025 to 2030 will be remembered as the half decade that transformed global energy. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand)
Results:
Last week: 100% RE
Last 223 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

Time to rethink the energy debate.
It is time to rethink the debate on the future of energy. This is a technology revolution driven by physics, economics and geopolitics, and galvanised by China.

Jesse Peltan on X has been showing this graph for a while. He says a 600W PV panel will provide 1000 kWh/year. This gets you to top of the low energy countries. I ran the numbers and this is right. 1/n
