Its wonderful how they just drop the "20% is gas" part from that headline. Yes, burning gas is cheap, but it is also aweful for the environment and shouldn't be getting considered at all.. 20% of a fuck ton of power is still a shitload of power. I think that's how those units work anyway.
where does it say 20%
That was an extrapolation from where they said renewables would cover 80% in the article. I can only assume the mentioned gas would be the other 20%
