In these situations, the rest of the difference will be made with foam fuel. In the first three months of 2025, the use of natural gas was reduced, while fighting recent trends. This means that the use of coal increased rapidly in 2024 compared to the same period.
Despite the increase in the use of coal, the share of carbon -free electricity is a permanent year annually, with 43 % of all electricity put on the US grid on air/solar/hydro/nuclear nuclear. This has happened despite small drops in nuclear and hydro production.
Solar hydro was pushed forward, but a certain amount of production never made it on the grid.

Solar energy also approved an important milestone in 2025, though it needs to be excavated by data to understand it. In terms of strength on the grid, the hydro was less solar. But the Energy Information Agency also estimates small -scale solar production, as you find on people’s roofs. Some of it never enter the grid and instead only offsets demand locally (it is used by a home that sits under the panel). If you add to the TW-HR produced by small and grid scale solar, however, they move the production from hydropower to a significant margin.
This increase in solar energy is above 30 % increase in production years ago. The growth curve is not clearly slowing down.
In response to a reduction in tax intervals for renewable electricity, the dynamic is also unlikely to change immediately, which was part of the budget package approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday, and not just because some Republican senators may object to the budget changes that will harm their states. In most areas, solar energy is now cheaper without subsidy, even without subsidy, and compared to any power plant (renewable or any other way), potentially increasing its costs due to tariff environment. Finally, the tax period does not immediately expire, and most of the power plant construction requires significant advanced planning.
All of these factors should continue solar boom for at least a few more years before all the expected changes are brakes.
