Lots of things are celebrated in the media that are not quite true. While in some areas, on some days, renewables are outpacing polluters, their power peaks and wanes at different rates than demand. Coal is still the baseload energy generator, and will be required until massive energy storage is achieved, or we build more fusion/fission plants. With the exception of hydro, most 'renewable' generation stratigies come with temporal issues (wind, sun, tide, etc).
But nobody wants to think about the fact their teslas are runnig on coal, and we assume some random article we saw on renewables outpacing coal are the truth. It is not.
