Energy growth outpaces energy use

[Woodznutz]

Gotta love it when you fools make absolutely nonsensical statements. And the following is in spite of the fact that the Trumpanzees are doing all they can to stop solar;

Solar​

Solar electricity is poised to dominate America's energy expansion in 2025, with developers planning to add 33 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaic capacity, representing more than half of the 64 GW of new generating capacity planned for the year. This surge positions solar as the leading technology in the nation’s ongoing energy transition, according to the latest data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The planned 64 GW of total new capacity additions for 2025 would surpass the previous record set in 2002, when developers added 58 GW to the grid – though that earlier milestone was achieved almost entirely through natural gas installations (57 GW). This contrast highlights how dramatically the energy landscape has evolved over the past two decades, with renewable technologies and energy storage now leading the expansion of capacity.

Geothermal should be the energy of the future.

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."

With this climate malarkey, you remind me of a quote, "Beware of the person of one book".

Informative and hopeful, * But--You Need to Post a link in your OP or I will have to shut you down.*

It appears to be false....
Every other report that I've read indicates that energy use is growing faster than energy production. This explains the ridiculously high cost of electricity.

It may be that the OP did his own math on the matter and came up with a conclusion.

Looks like we need all we can get from all sources available. That should not only include fossil fuels and renewable, but Nuclear should be expanded, also, in my opinion.

Yes everyone's going to have to compromise...
As much as fossil fuelers hate renewables the simple truth of the matter is we need everything now. Yes we should definitely build a whole bunch more nuclear power plants before we finally transition.

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

India has 30,000,000 households with no electric connection. They are notorious fibbers who will hook up one building in a village and declare the whole village electrified.

Going to have to get the cost down within reason. Except for a very few places, still way too expensive.

By the time you build one nuclear plant, you can build hundreds of solar and wind farms. For a very small fraction of the cost of the nuclear plants.

In the US and EU, energy demand is outpacing energy construction. Primarily because of new data demand. In the rest of the world, energy construction is out pacing new demand. However, that will easily reverse when their industries start needing more data centers.

And have you ever even opened up on book? LOL Do you even know what a peer reviewed scientific journal is? Do you even have a GED? LOL

And the nuclear plant is still more useful.

And my quote? You're the limited knowledge part of it. You have had no experience with all the renewable crap you try to claim to be an expert on and your posts are just copy and paste dribs and drabs out of some book you're reading.

To be efficient they need to be close to their point of use and very extensive. Who wants that?

That is impossible. Too weak.
