Some awareness - California's renewables are producing more supply than demand for hours at a time

 Some good news and progress in the implementation of using renewable energy sources (primarily this refers to wind and solar energy) and battery storage on large scales: California, by itself the 6th largest economy on the planet, has been generating and storing more energy than the state uses for 30 of the last 38 days. While it is for periods of time on order of a couple hours, this is huge progress in the US. 

California has been leading the nation in energy and climate policy for decades, and this is part of that trend and commitment. Projections have the state running itself with renewables and battery storage in full by 2035. That is the goal, and is so encouraging for progress to cut back on using fossil fuels and cutting down on greenhouse gases! It is also a model for every other state to try and continue to make progress in this vital issue.
