@mbpaz@mas.to @gekko3k@mastodon.social @bradr@infosec.exchange I don't think impossible is the right word here. This is Poland's energy mix over 20years (and look at Spain's energy mix around 2020 for comparison). Btw, Poland's goal is not to reach 50%, but to produce the majority of energy from renewable sources.

@gim@lou.lt @gekko3k@mastodon.social @bradr@infosec.exchange Coal usage for electricity generation in Spain is exactly zero now - no coal power stations remain. Roughly 40-50% actual (not installed) generation is wind+solar, depending on the weather, ~15% nuclear, 10-20% hydro. The major remaining polluting source is gas (in combined cycle stations), hard to replace for technical reasons. Also about 1% total energy comes from diesel generators in islands.

@gim@lou.lt That is actually a pretty good trajectory. It was at pretty much the worst possible state, though, in 2005. I hope there's a good plan to not just get rid of the remaining coal power in short order but to do so without building more gas-fired plants, because once you build them, someone will cry foul if you want to shut them down again. @mbpaz@mas.to @gekko3k@mastodon.social @bradr@infosec.exchange
