2 years ago year to date, fossil gas output on California's main grid was 93% higher than solar output
In 2025, solar output is 32% higher than gas output
Gas output has dropped 41.4% and solar output has risen 50% in 2 years
Battery output has also risen 215%

If the pace China installed Wind-Water-Solar in 2024 (370.5 GW/yr) continues, and if they electrify all energy, China will reach 100% WWS for all energy purposes in 21.5 years (by 2046).

China has now built ~22% of all #WindWaterSolar it needs to power itself with 100% WWS for all purposes in 2050 upon electrifying all energy:
