Additional capacity was provided by geothermal (26 MW), hydropower (7 MW), and
biomass (2 MW). The balance came from natural gas (4,695 MW) and oil (5 MW). >> No new capacity was reported for 2022 from either nuclear power or coal.

This brings clean energy’s share of total US available installed generating
capacity up to 26.74%. To put that in perspective, five years ago, clean
energy’s share was 19.7%. Ten years ago, it was 14.76%.

FERC reports that there may be as much as 192,507 MW of new solar capacity on
the way, with 66,315 MW classified as “high-probability” additions and no
offsetting “retirements.”

The “high-probability” additions alone would nearly double utility-scale >> solar’s current installed capacity of 74,530 MW, while successful completion

Aww, Joe Manchin Republicans sink deeper and deeper.

I see it in my electric bill.

Is that because Judy sucks up all the juice trying to stay alive?
