One idea I had was to take the monthly percentage renewable data for South Australia from <a href=\"https:\/\/opennem.org.au\/energy\/sa1\/?range=all&amp;interval=1M\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/opennem.org.au\/energy\/sa1\/?range=all&amp;interval=1M\">https:\/\/opennem.org.au\/energy\/sa1\/?range=all&amp;interval=1M<\/a> and stack rank each month by percentage and animate, so we can see each year evolve. Daily data would be better, but this is what I had to hand. Gives a good idea of how the best and worst month is changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Australia, as I type this, is already above 70% annually for renewable power and the addition of roof top solar as well as grid scale batteries, solar and wind means this graph will continue to get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is all we have really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/mmc.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sa-monthly-renewable-stacked.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of Internet arguing is pretty boring as it&#8217;s about people taking point in time data, usually &#8220;cherry picked&#8221; to prove that somehow something will or will not work forever.
