This is just a babystep.
Adding NEW energy production isn't the same as replacing all the OLD sources.
And of the new plants added it is still about half renewable and half fossil fuels (mostly COAL not oil for electricity)
Here in Nevada of course it's been "renewable" (todays terminology) energy generation since 1936.
Plenty of other places also have always used Hydro.
Anyway, once the numbers for ALL existing power supplies are about 50/50 (like the "new" ones are)...then we'll be actually getting there.
This is just the very beginning.
Not yet time to pop the cork on the champagne.
