Donald Trump has wielded the full might of his administration to crush the progress of clean energy, which he has called a “scam” and “stupid”. But there are signs this assault is not going to plan.
In March, the US generated more of its electricity from renewable sources such as solar and wind than it did via gas, the first time clean energy has surpassed the planet-heating fossil fuel for a full month nationally, according to data from the Ember thinktank.
While this was just one month, it follows a record 2025 for renewable energy. The pipeline of new power coming online in the US is overwhelmingly green this year, too, with 93% of all electricity capacity added in 2026 set to come from solar, wind and batteries. Just 7% will come from the fossil fuels that are dangerously overheating our world.
You’re using your disagreement voice to agree with me.
That’s kinda on you tho
I didn’t write the comment?
Well, may people interpret “made up” to mean “fake” or “false” or “non-existent” or “lol not realz”.
You didn’t mean it that way but it took a little while to get to what you meant.
I have very little control over how people interpret what I write. The word “inescapable” was the clue I left to help you resolve the ambiguity.
I think you had a lot better results when you went with ‘constructed’. Just my 2¢
Constructed doesn’t have the pejorative connotation I was aiming for
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
