Oct 17, 2023 - Can You Run a Grid on 100% Wind + Solar? South Australia Shows Us How



Welcome to South Australia, a place where the winds of change are quite literal and the sun doesn`t just warm our homes but also powers them. I recorded this video in beautiful Adelaide when I visited recently, because South Australia is leading the world in several key aspects of the energy transition. South Australia has gone from a coal powered electricity grid with virtually no renewables in 2008 to 70% renewables with zero coal power plants today, a mere 15 years later. And, they`ve done it the hard way, with none of the "easy" clean energy sources (hydro, geothermal, nuclear). They`ve done it with variable renewables wind and solar.
