Fascinating new EIA data
South Dakota produced 110% of its electricity demand with just Wind-Water-Solar for the full year Oct 1 '23-Sep 30 '24
77.5% Wind 30.1% Water 2.2% Solar
Also produced 16.8% gas, 11.7% coal
So SD produced 138% of demand, exporting 38%

That’s impossible, no one can give more than 100%. By definition, that is the most anyone can give.
Exporting. You didn’t even need to click. Just read, it’s in the description.
its about what you need and what you can produce. you can produce more then what you need.
I think he’s joking. I don’t get it though.
it’s from the simpsons: https://youtu.be/mfcTcSbGMmo
its also more specific to generating electricity. even in Agriculture there is a limit to what you can get out of the ground.
I got your reference, for what it’s worth
110% means 10% more than what they consume. Hope this helps.
