And a 4th reminder that a transition to 100% WindWaterSolar reduces the annual total tonnes of mining in the world by >84% despite the need for precious metals, which are a trivial component of total mining tonnage.

And a 3rd reminder that a transition to 100% WindWaterSolar across the US reduces land use due to energy from 2.4% of US land (1.16% occupied by the fossil-fuel industry and 1.24% occupied by the corn-ethanol industry) to ~0.85% of U.S. land, with most of this being open space between wind turbines

And another reminder that a transition of the U.S. to 100% WindWaterSolar across all energy sectors reduces private annual energy costs to Americans by 63% (giving an energy-cost payback time of <6 y) and total social energy costs by 86% (payback time <1 y).

179th day of the year that the California ISO grid WindWaterSolar supply exceeds 100% of demand for part of the day.
CA is meeting 55.9% of all demand this year with WWS, vs 51.7% in 2024 and 47.1% in 2023. At this pace, CA will be 100% WWS 24/7/365 by 2035.
