Renewable Energy Defies Trump's Attacks, Reaching a New Record.

The article focuses on the record growth of renewable energy generation by US utilities in 2025, despite federal policies under the Trump administration aimed at supporting fossil fuels and reducing incentives for wind and solar power. Renewables produced 1,162 terawatt-hours of electricity, accounting for 26% of the nation’s total and enough to power approximately 108 million homes, with significant new solar and wind projects opening across various states. While fossil fuel generation, including coal, also increased due to rising energy demand, renewables continue to outpace these gains driven by declining costs and expanding capacity, with nearly 80% of planned new power plants over the next decade expected to be renewable. Analysts predict renewables, including hydroelectric power, will supply nearly one-third of US electricity by 2030, reflecting a sustained shift in the energy landscape. [Extracted from the article]
