( Per capita , they are 10th) However, the trend lines are positive: There are 210,433 electric vehicles registered in Texas and battery storage did not exist in Texas until 2014, now they are second in the country. Texas generated more solar energy in 2023 alone than all in-state solar generation before 2021 combined.

The same scenario has played out with the power plants that use fossil fuels, predominantly methane (“natural”) gas, delivered by pipelines. The electric power system is trapped by gas-dependent power plants that cannot obtain gas when it needs it to keep the lights on. It’s a vicious feedback loop.

And EIA projects the capacity of wind power, already the largest source of renewable electricity in the country, to grow 4.7 Solar and wind together will leap past coal With all that new generating capacity, wind turbines and solar panels will be producing appreciably more electricity than in years past.

Energy Information Administration reported-- in our January Short-Term Energy Outlook , we forecast that rising electricity generation from renewable energy resources such as solar and wind will reduce generation from fossil fuel-fired power plants over the next two years. The forecast share of generation for U.S.
