@SeanCasten@mastodon.social Thanks for posting this. This is embarrassing and should lead to a total change of leadership for the Department of Energy, or at least a change of handling for their social media accounts. Fortunately we have other sources like https://gridstatus.io to show the true statistics on the overall energy usage and fuel mix in this country. A quick glance at the statistics for ERCOT and CAISO will show where other regions of the country like PJM need to aim (more solar, wind, batteries)!

@AlanSill@mast.hpc.social @SeanCasten@mastodon.social The DoE is of course now entirely political, at least in its public-facing parts. Nobody should be taking any federal agency seriously until there's regime change.
