    we’re getting record renewables

    I didn’t see that on my first read, went back and searched “record” and didn’t see it either.

    Can you quote the part of your link that says that?

      It’s elsewhere:

      Solar. We expect a record addition of utility-scale solar in 2024 if the scheduled 36.4 GW are added to the grid. This growth would almost double last year’s 18.4 GW increase, which was itself a record for annual utility-scale solar installation in the United States. As the effects of supply chain challenges and trade restrictions ease, solar continues to outpace capacity additions from other generating resources.

      Wind. Operators report another 8.2 GW of wind capacity is scheduled to come on line in 2024. Following the record additions of more than 14.0 GW in both 2020 and 2021, wind capacity additions have slowed in the last two years.

        Well, that’s just about solar installation, and is predicting installarion not reporting on it…

        And clearly not about actual production.

        But thanks for the link, I hope I helped you understand it
