"As shown on the live grid tracker about two-thirds of the day's electricity came from renewables. It was pretty overcast, and our solar panels barely made 1kWh.

It wasn't mined uranium which gave us power which literally had to be given away; about 62% of the electricity came from wind."

Misleading title, but excellent article. Nice find!

I knew this was happening on the utility-scale market, but did not realize that there were places this was happening for consumers. If we saw more of this, we'd see a lot more batteries and a lot more pressure to deploy bi-directional charging for EVs.
