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.
