    Headline is aweful and misleading. In April, Solar was highest energy source FOR TRAILING 12 months. That it was more in June, likely means solar was highest energy source for trailing 12 and 14 months. FF electricity is dropping off significantly in Europe. Even more down this year than it was in 2023/2024.

    This is such extreme incompetence in reporting from Yale.

        June is a milestone as well. Even though its highest solar production month, there is often a decent AC demand that can use peakers.
