Utility-scale solar generation is up by over 30% amid future uncertainties.

      There’s a lag in the figures. We won’t find out total usage for 2024 until the beginning of 2025, but the data we do have shows that it will. It’s a weirdly worded title, I grant you.

    Is this good news? I thought we had already passed this benchmark, did we regress?

    But the US energy demand saw an increase of nearly 3 percent, which is roughly double the amount of additional solar generation. Should electric use continue to grow at a similar pace, renewable production will have to continue to grow dramatically for a few years before it can simply cover the added demand.

      Which, in the end will make a “no renewables”-stance untenable, since renewables are the only way of growing the energy sector fast enough.
