Hi,
The UK and Germany both have days where they are well over that 50% mark. It won't take long for that to become months.
It appears Iceland, Norway, and Sweden are all over 50% from renewable energy--but not from just solar and winf.
The electric companies are now billing separately for "transmission" costs. That is their new model for staying afloat financially.
I'm more a fan of solar than of wind. The reason is that solar can be designed with no moving parts.
