All major energy sources hit a record high in 2024 making renewable energy, oil, gas, coal, nuclear and hydropower responsible for the worldwide energy demand.

These solar projects could equal 15 percent of the solar that's already been built globally and help triple renewables before the end of the decade.

It was the highest first-quarter share of renewables in the 25-year history of the National Energy Market.

Clean energy jobs are not just growing; they’re booming at twice the rate of the overall U.S. job market. This surge is reshaping America’s energy landscape, driving economic development, and offering a blueprint for a sustainable future.

The RMI report said that by 2030, solar and wind are "predicted to generate 12,000 to 14,000 terawatt hours of power" or three to four times the capacity of 2022 levels.

“The benefit of rapid renewable deployment is greater energy security and independence, plus long-term energy price deflation because this is a manufactured technology — the more you install the cheaper it gets.”

“This report shows that the Inflation Reduction Act successfully creates an air-tight business case for supporting U.S. workers and manufacturers."

The global energy crisis that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as the growing affordability of renewables, has given rise to more sustainable alternatives.

Despite climate action often being frustrated by Republican leaders in Congress and at the local level, states with Republican governors and a majority of Republican state legislators are leading the nation in solar and wind.

Texas will be home to the highest amount of new solar capacity at 7.7 gigawatts, followed by California at 4.2 gigawatts.
