California runs on 100% renewables for 4.8 months each year in a sense too. It has 40% renewables last time I checked I think in 2019. If you assign that to what percent of the annual use, that is the equivalent of everything from Jan 1st-April 24ish California is runing on 100% renewables.

Uruguay's electricity was 100% renewable for the last four months, not four months in the last 12 months. In the last 12 months they were over 90%.
