A new episode of our wildly popular video series Conservation Nation just posted.
Host Gabriella Hoffman travels to Delaware, home to President Joe Biden, to expose how residents of the First State aren’t sold on solar.
As CFACT’s readers know, solar power is one of the least reliable sources of electricity out there. Per the Department of WATCH: Biden's Delaware rejects solar 1Energy, solar has the lowest capacity factor rate of all energy sources – only functioning for just 24.9% of the year. Not to mention, utility-scale solar projects are monstrously land intensive.
Despite Delaware going all-in on solar, only 172 megawatts (MW) of solar power has been installed. That amounts to a mere 4% of the state’s electricity generation. Delaware is still heavily dependent on natural gas, which supplies 87% of the state’s electricity. Ouch!
