Solar Power Gains Ground in U.S. Energy Mix

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that solar power use in the U.S. is increasing, alongside a troubling rise in coal. Citing Inside Climate News, he explained that while high natural gas prices pushed utilities back toward coal, they also turned more to solar, which gained market share in the first half of the year. McIntyre noted that although natural gas remains dominant, solar’s growth offers an encouraging sign for clean energy progress.
