This is hopefully leading up to something good in Paris. I'm very optimistic. Let's hope Harper is decapitated by communist Thomas Mulcair and Tony Abbott makes a fool of himself.

Weirdly, the electricity sector of Brazil is mostly hydropower, not fossil fuels - its gas plants account for 10% of electric generation and coal accounts for practically nothing. The focus for Brazil needs to be relying on less destructive renewables (especially as hydropower has some curious emissions of its own. Luckily, Brazil is an over performer at meeting its climate and forestry goals. Focus should be applied to often ignored Indonesia though.

Any idea where the wind and solar sources are going to be?

I presume for the former, mainly in the interior and off the east coast; and for the latter across the sun belt? (Although even the most northern areas of the U.S. can add solar capacity, tbh; just not the gigantic heat powered operations).

I should have specified i was wondering more about Brazil.
