Portugal just ran on 100% renewables for six days in a row

Portugal isn't America.

Almost a whole week. Good for them.

Climate loons should move there.

It looks like renewables are feasible.
Its Portugal.

Would be impressive it was the Portuguese Empire and not some 3rd rate micro-state and long time simp of of Spain.

Feasible if you leave all your transmission ties closed to neighboring nuclear, fossil and hydro generation. Open all those ties and let us know what happens.

Offshore wind projects face economic storm. Cancellations jeopardize Biden clean energy goals
quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The cancellation of two large offshore wind projects in New Jersey is the latest in a series of setbacks for the nascent U.S. offshore wind industry, jeopardizing the Biden administration’s goals of powering 10 million homes from towering ocean-based turbines by 2030 and establishing a carbon-free electric grid five years later.
The Danish wind energy developer Ørsted said this week it’s scrapping its Ocean Wind I and II projects off southern New Jersey due to problems with supply chains, higher interest rates and a failure to obtain the amount of tax credits the company wanted. Together, the projects were supposed to deliver over 2.2 gigawatts of power.
The news comes after developers in New England canceled power contacts for three projects that would have provided another 3.2 gigawatts of wind power to Massachusetts and Connecticut. They said their projects were no longer financially feasible.

they couldnt do a 7th day because they used up 6 months of renewables just to get it to last 6 days worth

Why didn't they do 7 days then?
I guess their stockpile of " renewables" dried up.

The six-day record refers to the 149 consecutive hours in which ?“energy from renewable sources exceeded the industrial and household consumption needs across the country.” The country’s previous record for that metric was 131 hours (a little over five days), achieved in 2019. That doesn’t mean that fossil fuel plants weren’t operating — just that the overall renewable generation more than met customer needs.
Laughable to think having ICE vehicles help achieve this goal because those reduce the demands on electricity. Less than 10% of cars in Portugal are EVs. The longer the sustainable energy wackos are allowed to mislead the public without being held accountable, the harder it will be for all of us.

Fabulous (with emphasis for sarcasm) and how can we apply this for Maine, Michigan, North Dakota, and every other state with extreme cold temperatures with a FULL winter season.
I don't think Portugal should be the 'standard' by which we base long term renewable use for a country as large and diverse as ours.

Don't sleep on Portugal.

Portugal has a per capita GDP of $26,789 (41st in the world) with a population of approximately 10.5 million people.
If you want to live under those parameters, go for it. I'll pass.

O&G , coal and nuclear are renewable too FWIW and you can go a lot longer than 6 days.
Posted on 11/19/23 at 4:16 pm to AlwaysPutsSeatDown
Great, we just need 33x-34x the amount of green infrastructure spread out over 107x the landmass and then somehow make sure outdoor temperatures never range above 85 nor below 40.
Easy. Peasy.

Yeah, it’s all but a meaningless term in the context of power production.

Quick question: Does Portugal protect and provide welfare to over half the countries on the Planet?
