Lets look at energy production over 70 years and see how "green" is doing.
As you can see, fossil fuel hasn't dropped much at all. In fact more and more and more of all types of energy is used but fossil fuel stays around 90%.
Now the type of fossil fuel has changed somewhat. Take for instance coal. It got "legislated out" and it shows. Even though the new admin is ok with coal it's hard to come back because you have sold off all your equipment and shuttered your sites.
NG, another fossil fuel, took over where coal dropped off so the fossil fuel % remains around the same as it was many years ago. NG is also a lot easier to get with WAAAAY less man power.
Talk all you want about solar. It's only 1% of total production and has stayed that way for a long time. Solar takes a lot of land and Tusk knows this. That's why he does not have any solar at the chargers like he said there would be.
The right term is renewables, not just solar.
The backward South must be pulling the whole country down as the Western states are way ahead in renewables as energy source.
CA is already at 33%, Oregon is 47% and WA at 75%.
CA and WA targets to be 100% renewables by 2045. Nevada is drawing plans to be net solar electricity exporter with it's abundant sunshine.
