CelloMom On Cars<p>The US grid and its interconnections seriously need an upgrade. In its current state it is in the way of more renewable energy getting online.</p><p>"The findings, published in the journal Joule, show that 78% of the energy generation capacity proposed between 2000 and 2018 have withdrawn from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/interconnection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>interconnection</span></a> queues. Over that period, only 14% of proposed solar projects came online compared with 32% of natural gas plants."</p><p><a href="https://www.pv-tech.org/80-of-energy-projects-withdraw-from-inefficient-us-grid-queues/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pv-tech.org/80-of-energy-proje</span><span class="invisible">cts-withdraw-from-inefficient-us-grid-queues/</span></a></p>
