What's the opposite of doom scrolling?

@bradr I think this does not count as bloomscrolling, because there is no flowers...

But maybe it does?

@fusion @bradr Other possibilities could include hydroelectricity and tidal. So probably not the whole 40%.

[kimeragupta@todon.eu]

@bradr and that is why the EU wants to destroy this process

@gekko3k @bradr You get solar power as long as there is daylight. Better if there's no clouds sure. But also better to be further from the equator so more of the light is perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel.

[xerz@soc.masfloss.net]

@disorderlyf @mbpaz @bradr and yet I'm pretty certain the vast majority of capacity we got ever since is solar, where Iberdrola and friends just went ahead, bought a bunch of land, speedran through the permits and built the new power stations

capacity which wasn't possible under a government infamous for taxing out power stations, the well-known "impuesto al sol" (Article 7 RD 900/2015, repealed in October 2018, taxing all production of solar energy even if for homes which were unplugged from the grid)

@xerz @bradr The right wing parties in Spain, almost stopped all development in renewable, they even put a tax specific for them, it was called "tax on the sun" by the media. Their ties with Spanish energy and oil companies are so big that people used to say that if we could get energy from revolving doors we could provide energy for the whole world.

@ghostdancer @bradr oh hey, we commented the same thing at the same time lmao https://soc.masfloss.net/@xerz/statuses/01KR3CSXXRSEQX60H2KWFWTCRC

[ghostdancer@mastodon.sdf.org]

@xerz Sorry. @disorderlyf @mbpaz @bradr

[kobold@orthographieanarchist.de]

@bradr It's #bloomscrolling And a nice chart you have there, too.

@bradr Just today read the term "hype swiping" and I like both the term and your news

@bradr
Where is the other (100 - 44 - 17) = 39 % ?

[fmarini@mastodon.social]

@fusion @bradr the mix in 2025 was:

21.85% solar
21.56% gas
20.41% wind
18.78% nuclear
11.37% hydropower
3.48% oil
2.23% bioenergy
0.32% coal

So renewables accounted for 53.63%, zero emissions (solar + wind + hydro + nuclear) 72.41%. Really good.

[fmarini@mastodon.social]

@KimeraGupta @bradr honestly, Spain should tell the EU to fuck off (and not only for this particular thing).

[fusion@mastodon.social]

@fmarini @bradr Thanks, it's nice to compare with Germany where we have "only" nuclear waste but a little more bio (maybe we produce more

@gekko3k @bradr Helpful? Definitively. But not impossible to pull it of in other European countries. A bit harder and more expensive? Sure, but political is the main blocker

[pietervdvn@en.osm.town]

@bradr Great news, but this is _only_ aboute electricity production. Is there a graph with _all_ energy and fossil use? I.e. including motor traffic (which still runs on oil), heavy industries and chemical processes?

[mbpaz@mas.to]

@xerz @disorderlyf @bradr The infamous "sun tax" applied to residential PV only - and industrial PV farms were perfectly happy with it, as it meant less PV production from residential customers, thus higher demand and higher prices in peak PV production hours. The boom in PV is just business. Lower investment, lower TCO (compared to wind etc).

PV and wind installed power reached parity in 2024. Installed PV is growing at 25-30% annually, installed wind power is growing at 2-4%.
