"Again.. no solution." The solution is to replace all fossil fuels with other sources of energy, and then to begin to draw down the current levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases. " Maybe a windmill?" Lots of windmills, and other devices, like solar panels and tidal generators. Here's some good news: The Sunshine State is finally living up to its billing California has always been top dog in terms of U.S. solar and record headlines. Every quarter, the Golden State has topped rankings and the questions were only ever how much bigger California would be than rival markets, and which states would come in second and third. But this year marks a departure from that path. According to the latest numbers in the quarterly Solar Energy Industries Association/Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables Solar Market Insight report, a whopping 860 MWdc was installed in Florida in Q1, compared to California’s 538 MW – the first time since 2012 any state has bettered California on a quarterly basis. US installs record 2.7GW of solar in first quarter of 2019 The United States experienced its best first quarter ever for new solar installations over the first three months of 2019, installing a record 2.7GW of new capacity, the most new solar ever installed in a first quarter. Further, Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables expects 2019 to see 25 per cent growth over last year, with more than 13GW of new capacity expected to be installed by year’s end. Finally from the source, the SEIA: U.S. Solar Market Sees Best Q1 in History BOSTON, Mass. AND WASHINGTON D.C., (June 18, 2019) – In the first three months of the year, the U.S. installed 2.7 gigawatts of solar photovoltaics (PV), making it the most solar ever installed in the first quarter of a year. With the strong first quarter, Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables forecasts 25% growth in 2019 compared to 2018, and it expects more than 13 GWdc of installations this year.
