*Coal, Petroleum, natural gas constitute 12-terrawatts
* Wind constitutes 870-terrawatts
* Total Solar = 86,000=terrawatts
* In 2020, 755-GW of installed renewable power was stalled by lack of grid intertie transmission.

* At the Q-7, 27-km offshore, North Sea wind park, a single revolution of the Danish', VESTAS wind turbine provides enough power for a single European home/ day.
