A woman pours water over her head to cool off during soaring temperatures in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 11 April 2023. The state has plans to generate 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, which is too little, too late. It is now cheaper to generate electricity from solar energy than from coal-based thermal plants.

Solar panels generated almost 4 percent of electricity in the US in 2021, up from less than 1 percent in 2015. In some places that number is much higher; for example, 17% of California’s electricity generation came from solar in 2021. Even more encouraging, by 2030, the solar industry aims to generate nearly a third of US electricity.

Further, the going price of gas can be volatile and generally tracks very closely with US wholesale electricity prices, since the country grew so over-reliant on gas power plants throughout the 2010s. Last year, for the first time ever, US renewable electricity generation surpassed coal-fired electricity generation.
