| Jun 1, 2016 at 3:14 | comment | added | DavePhD | This part of the claim is definitely false now, but the source in the OP is from 2004. Maybe the claim was true at that time. | |
| Jun 1, 2016 at 1:34 | comment | added | Mark | @KenY-N, photovoltaic's capacity factor isn't too spectacular (I'm seeing numbers around 10%-20%), but that's nowhere near the 0.5% needed to make the statement true. | |
| Jun 1, 2016 at 1:10 | comment | added | Ken Y-N | "Generates" and "Capacity" are two totally different things, so expressing PV capacity relative to coal generation is incorrect. | |
