The US is on track to install nearly 85 gigawatts of electrical generating capacity in the next 12 months, with about 90% generated by solar, wind and batteries. Natural gas will account for just 9% of new capacity, and coal will make up exactly 0%. #energysky www.reddit.com/r/climatecha...

July has been dry here in the PNW. Some cloudy days here and there. Usually partly cloudy. I am at 47.7 degrees northk latitude. I have 2000 watts of solar panels. In the last month we have used 124 kwh of solar. About $25 off our electric bill. #solar #renewables #batterybackup
