Energy growth outpaces energy use

[Old Rocks]

Thanks to rapid growth in renewables for most of the world, energy growth has exceeded energy use. Because of the rapid deployment of renewables in India and China, both nations saw a decline in emissions.
"Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new analysis.

Global solar generation grew by a record 31% in the first half of the year, while wind generation grew by 7.7%, according to the report by the energy think tank Ember, which was released after midnight Tuesday London time. Solar and wind generation combined grew by more than 400 terawatt hours, which was more than overall global demand increased in the same period, it found.

In the first six months of the year, China added more solar and wind than the rest of the world combined, and its fossil fuel generation fell by 2%, the report said.

India saw record solar and wind growth that outpaced the growth in demand. India's fossil fuel generation also dropped.

In both nations, emissions fell."

If we have so much energy outstripping demand, WTF are my electric rates increasing?

That explains Spain's nation wide black out Germanys high energy costs and shortages. The reason too much renewable energy that cant meet demand.

AI and increased server banks will blow past the capacity of renewable energy that cant work 24 hours or be increased as demand increases. Volvo and Volkswagen have left and are coming to America. Why we are now developing nuclear and using more fossil fuels that are reliable low cost and can easily meet demand.

Too much renewable energy will shut down an economy. It could last for months even more. Then try driving your battery car.

Renewables are the catastrophe they cant meet the demand of AI. Where odes your power com from at night or when the wind stops. When servers stop the economy is shut down. Have an EV car start walking

The only math worse than left-wing math is green math.

This thread is a perfect example of the left acting as if what they want to be true really is true when the facts are the opposite. Renewable energy cant meet demand. Any idiot can see why. No sun at night and the wind stops. Add back up the cost goes up. Buy surplus energy the cost goes up. Wind turbines fall apart after 10 years. Not long enough to pay for the costs.

Reneables cant run the industry to manufacture renewabmes

Who wrote this ducking fairy tale

It is a shame that renewables are a product of the oil industry.

Without oil, no more solar or wind

With only wind and solar power there is no energy to fuel the oil industry which build solar and wind

You have to subsidize the AI centers

 

[elektra]

Old Crock is a moron

Solar and wind, yep they manufactured record amount of solar panels and wind turbines that produce very very little electricity

Solar and wind power is the largest industry in the world, requiring constant building. Of course Solar and wind set records. They always will.

Solar and Wind sets the record every year for the most money invested with the least amount of electricity produced

Silly ass, 400 Terra watts is not a minor amount of electricity. Of course you know that and are just flapping your gums telling lies like usual.

Worldwide, solar and wind energy generation has significantly increased, with solar generation growing by 31% and wind generation increasing by 7.7% in the first half of 2024. This growth has outpaced electricity demand, and for the first time, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, with total renewable energy generation exceeding 400 terawatt hours.

Our World in Data+1

In terms of share, approximately one-seventh of the world's primary energy comes from renewable technologies, which include solar and wind. However, specific figures for the total amount of electricity produced by these sources are not provided in the available data.
