#Roevember is coming. We can stand up together and shut down the would-by #MAGAlarchy. The Ukrainians and the Iranians are doing their best to rid the world of two actual tyrannies. You can of course help by countering the #Malarkey, aka disinformation. Let there be no surprises that we are not prepared for.
As for them, how about a November Surprise?

Blake Masters Already Claiming Election Will Be Stolen

Never mind. This is the real story from Arizona.

We still want to do everything good for everybody, even those who hates it forever!! with the fire of a magic volcano in the dark and desolate landscape of their minds because more of Those People will start to get their fair share.
Love your work. Now do the same for Latinos, women, LGBTQs, and the other key groups that need to hear from us and turn out in #Roevember. #SiSePuede #MeToo #OutLoudProud

That is to say that the nameplate ratings of solar and wind in Scotland are at 100%, but the actual output is lower due to intermittency. Then storage levels the results, matching supply with demand throughout the day, and fills in most of the gaps.
Iceland is well over 100% of domestic needs, and is inviting aluminum, fertilizer, and other major electricity users to build plants there. Several other countries are getting close. Norway has the biggest uptake of electric cars, with a variety of incentives. Funding for coal is drying up worldwide, at the biggest financial firms, and a multitude of governments. China and India have huge renewable industries, but at the same time the biggest problems of meeting rising demand, as we saw yesterday.
We need to get on the stick for Puerto Rico, and build them a massively distributed wind, solar, and storage system that cannot be knocked out by another major hurricane.
