Considering that electricity production for Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay and the Democratic Republic of Congo amounted to about a few large D Cell batteries before the Green Energy came into the picture, this isn’t such a big deal. Try producing 99% of the total power consumed by Cut and Shoot Texas with Green Sources, then we’ll talk…..

“Considering that electricity production for Albania, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iceland, Nepal, Paraguay and the Democratic Republic of Congo amounted to about a few large D Cell batteries “
If there is a shred of truth in this, it is that all these countries use geothermal (Iceland) or hydropower (Paraguay) and an insignificant amount of wind and solar.
“On-grid hydropower is Bhutan’s main energy source. “

“Albania’s domestic generation is almost entirely dependent on hydropower since the country’s only thermal power plant is currently inoperable.”

What is the main source of electricity in Ethiopia?
Ethiopia Energy Situation - energypedia
hydro energy
The produced electricity of ~ 9000 GWh/a is mainly generated by hydro energy (96%) followed by wind energy (4%), whereof in total 11% get exported. In contrast the major share of energy supply for transport is imported in forms of petroleum. Ethiopia is endowed with renewable energy sources.Mar 19, 2024

When a GREEN SHILL tells a ridiculous lie with no shame, that can teach us not to believe anything they say, for example, don’t believe anything they say about the cost of their BS bird killers, of the danger of the minuscule contribution of CO2 to the minuscule amount of warming we have experienced.

At night Texas routinely goes nearly 100% wind powered. The only other plants on are the nukes @9% or less everything else is curtailed by law first. During the day I have seen 65% wind power in real time in the ERCOT datafeeds to those of us in the power industry. Texas has 39,000 megawatts of wind available this month demand at night drops below 30000 on the regular right as the winds howl in West Texas all night. I just looked at 0124 wind was 52% of the ERCOT grid solar plateaued out from noon till 1600 at 23% of the grid yesterday with wind at that time from 26% to 28% that means for most of the day yesterday Texas was at least 50% wind and solar.

Without industry level access one can look at the ERCOT grid dashboards for free with less detailed information.
