Environment & Energy

Renewable energy use is accelerating because it is becoming relatively cheap and faster to develop. Looking at achievements in smaller countries like Uruguay or in states like Hawaii (Aloha) shows how it can be developed.

Want a larger example?

UK electricity generation sources
• Natural Gas: ~30–31%
• Wind: ~29%
• Nuclear: ~13–14%
• Bioenergy/Biomass: ~10–12%
• Solar: ~4–5%
• Imports & Other: ~7–10%
• Coal: < 1%

This is a huge success story for the UK and it will get better as the commitment to a transition to renewable energy continues and innovation continues to bring prices for renewables down. I can't think of a reason to attack any safe and economical clean energy source except some kind of petty tech-bigotry, which I know is a thing.
