PyPSA
pypsa-eur
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Young Australians Just Won a Human Rights Case Against an Enormous Coal Mine
This study about the European grid quantifies all this. If you want to go deeper into how they get these numbers, you'll need to read about PyPSA or other grid modelling tools. It's all open source and well documented.

Solar panels set to be mandatory on all new buildings under EU plan New proposal aims to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil and supercharge Europe’s transition to green energy
You need to know how energy models work, and I invite you to read about them. Check out PyPSA for instance (paper, Source code)). That would answer both points above and more. For instance, you need to know that they are based on real weather and consumption data, so they account for natural variability. They know the cost of producing synfuels, and they optimize around it to find the cheapest system overall given the input technologies and assumptions. These calculations would be impossible to do by hand.

U.S. can get to 100% clean energy with wind, water, solar and zero nuclear, Stanford professor says
It's more predictable than you seem to think, especially at large scale. Grid modelers use sophisticated computer models (like PyPSA) to find the cheapest low-carbon technological mix, based on historical consumption and weather data. You might like to read Synergies of sector coupling for instance, they describe how the variability of wind and solar is handled.

Bill Gates: Nuclear power will 'absolutely' be politically acceptable again — it's safer than oil, coal, natural gas
Well, some very knowledgeable people have done the math and they are pretty sure about their conclusions :) The grid is a very complicated beast, and it's nearly impossible to visualize some stuff without running a sophisticated computer model (like this one). What they don't cover is stuff like political issues, mismanagement etc, and that's certainly worth a discussion.

The Empire State Building and its related buildings are now powered by wind - The skyscraper and 13 other office buildings owned by the same company were powered solely by wind.
Or you could go study some of their models and note that they use real weather and consumption data.
