\r\nJoshua S. Hill, CleanTechnica, 23 November 2014,\r\n\r\nWind & Solar = 77% Of New US Electricity Generating Capacity In November (Exclusive)<\/a>,\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC)\r\nOffice of Energy Projects released its monthly “Energy\r\nInfrastructure Update” on Tuesday, and the big winners from\r\nthe month of November seem to be wind and solar, which combined\r\nadded up to over 70% of all new electrical generating capacity\r\nplaced into service during the month. If you add in our estimate for\r\nnon-utility-scale solar, the market share of solar and wind rises to\r\n77%.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nHill misinterprets his own next figure, which actually shows\r\nthat wind and solar new deployment combined, adding up to 6,204 megawatts,\r\nexceeds natural gas at 5,513.\r\n
