Interesting that the graph of power is split between "Renewables" and "other" which explicitly pulls nuclear out of that equation. NY has currently about 36.5% Renewables right now in their power mix. If they instead labeled it as "Fossil Fuels" and "Non-Fossil Power", the "Non-Fossil" Power production would be 54.3%! Also, I love how constant that Nuclear line is across the generation graph.

Here is the percentage of the combined wind + Solar + Nuclear + Hydroelectric on some grids in the East & Midwest, along with their instantaneous direction of growth/decline at 5PM CST on 3/11/2022: ERCOT 57.3 \ Electric Reliability Council of Texas MISO 41.9 - Midwest Independent System Operator NYIS 50.6 \ New York Independent System Operator SPP 44.4 \ SouthWest Power Pool PJM 42.4 ↗ PJM Interconnection (PA, NJ, MD, OH, IN, DE & Chicago) ...and at 6PM CST: ERCOT 48.7 \ Electric Reliability Council of Texas MISO 40.7 \ Midwest Independent System Operator NYIS 50.1 - New York Independent System Operator SPP 37.5 \ SouthWest Power Pool PJM 41.5 - PJM Interconnection (PA, NJ, MD, OH, IN, DE & Chicago) So you can see, that, particularly in wind-blow Texas and middle of the U.S. (SPP includes Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska), the penetration of renewables + Nuclear is quite dynamic.

Unfortunately, New York is in the midst of a decades-long "Renewables" push to close all of its nuclear plants and replace them with new natural gas power plants. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=47776 https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=47776 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/12/nyregion/indian-point-power-plant-closing.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/12/nyregion/indian-point-pow... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-utilities-nypa-energy-indianpoint/nypa-says-entergy-indian-point-power-contract-to-end-in-2013-idUSBRE88B1C020120912 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-utilities-nypa-energy-ind...
