Fascinating new EIA data
South Dakota produced 110% of its electricity demand with just Wind-Water-Solar for the full year Oct 1 '23-Sep 30 '24
77.5% Wind 30.1% Water 2.2% Solar
Also produced 16.8% gas, 11.7% coal
So SD produced 138% of demand, exporting 38%

That’s impossible, no one can give more than 100%. By definition, that is the most anyone can give.

its about what you need and what you can produce. you can produce more then what you need.
I think he’s joking. I don’t get it though.
