Netherlands up to 25% renewable

In the Netherlands, ~25% of our electricity is now from renewables, up from just 10% six years ago.
And we're working on tripling that share to ~75% by 2030!

There is a graph supporting this on Twitter (I think), but it's in a language I don't read.

But the main point is Wind and Solar are a process. There are those that say it's not enough to count. They have been saying that for as long as I have been on the forum - over 12 years. But every year there are more wind and solar assets put online. It keeps building, better windmills and solar panels are developed and the cost goes down.

More than doubling in the Netherlands in just 6 years. Progress a MW at a time.

BTW, can someone show me how to post a tweet here? Everytime I do it it's just a bunch of code and not the tweet.

1. Do you have the URL to the tweet?

I often copy a tweet from one DU page to another, I don't recall if I've taken a tweet from Twitter and posted it in DU, but I can try my bag of 2 or 3 tricks ... since nobody else responded

I'm surprised you haven't gotten ferocious opposition to your post, a la "I'm an old man", "after 50 years of cheering", "Mauna Loa", "primary scientific literature", "in this century", "lipstick on the fossil fuel pig", "just quit smoking", "hand waving airheads who have no interest in the fate of humanity," "tiny brained assholes", "the obvious lie that so called 'renewable energy'" ... and on and on.

3. Thanks

I may have figured it out

I'm use to those replies. But I believe there's a big difference in getting electricity from wind and solar and you don't have to constantly deface the earth for fuel.
