Ireland: Wind generation exceeds demand for electricity for the first time ever

Auto tldr bot missed this:

Currently, the country’s electricity grid is only permitted to have a maximum of 75 per cent renewables in its energy mix. That meant that some of the energy was exported to Britain and Ireland had to meet the rest of the demand using fossil fuels.

This limit has gone up over the years from 50 to 75 per cent since 2011 and is set to increase further to 95 per cent by 2030. It is in place because using entirely renewable power means changes have to be made to the country’s electricity grid.

Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension

Reply in thread

I think "thoughts and prayers" are the bottom of the barrel. This is actively withholding money from Disney. And Disney LOVES money. If enough people stop giving Disney money, then the "line goes up" people will not get tens of millions of dollars and they'll have to take some action. This isn't a meaningless gesture. Obviously it depends on how many people cancel their subscriptions. How's spotify doing nowadays?
