Wind and solar surpass gas globally for the first time
Source: Slashdot: Hardware
This April, renewable capacity outproduced fossil gas on a monthly basis worldwide for the first time—operational reality, not projection. The crossing collapses the "renewables aren't reliable enough" argument at scale and shows that grid operators have solved the intermittency problem through storage, forecasting, and interconnection rather than waiting for battery breakthroughs. Watch which regions hit this inflection first in their own grids; Europe already operates this way. If Australia, California, and Texas follow within 24 months, the investment thesis for natural gas infrastructure flips from essential baseload to stranded asset.
