That can mean a decrease in your total energy use, but not necessarily. If cooling your house gets cheaper because you’re more energy efficiency, you might decide you can afford to keep your house even cooler. In the end, you might use more electricity, not less. Bottom line: if we use less energy, we use less land.

It also flags misleading language suggesting that gas is “clean energy” and “low carbon.” Customers in gas expansion areas stand to lose thousands of dollars if they switch to gas instead of installing high-efficiency electric heat pumps (over the lifetime of the equipment). These misrepresentations are causing real harm.

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. Almost half of all new energy capacity added to the US grid in 2021 came from solar.
