Renew Economy: #Australia lays ground for reaching 100 pct #renewables with new engineering roadmap
On 31 Dec. 2023, #DistributedSolar—mostly residential rooftop #solar—generated 101.7% of demand for South Australia, an #Aus. state. This is a **very different thing** from #California's amazing #RenewableEnergy achievements—this is #EnergyIndependence, where most households paid nothing for #electricity and no industry-produced energy was required.

@Amgine @CelloMomOnCars Residential rooftop solar is the way. But it will be a long time coming because the utility megacorps have more power over Congress than we do.
Yes, yes, it will be a long hard road and the utility companies will have to drastically change their operating model. I get it. I "feel" for them. Their whole world will be turned upside down and I understand they they're fighting it. But it must be done, and since it must be done the longer we fool around the worse it will go.
