Biden will leave office with the strongest climate record of any president—making the largest ever investment in clean energy, regulating to reduce pollution from cars & power plants, bolstering clean energy supply chain resilience, & reasserting US global climate leadership. 🙏

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 just 5 hrs of storage (24 GW / 120 GWh)
Results:
last week: 100% RE
last 117 weeks: 99.0% RE (1/4)
