Summary

Solar power has surged to the top of U.S. energy additions for 28 straight months, powering over 72% of new renewable capacity last year and now outpacing wind, nuclear, and hydropower. With projections showing another 86 gigawatts installed in the next three years, solar is poised to become the nation’s second-largest energy source by 2029—right behind natural gas. Meanwhile, gas faces turbine shortages slowing its growth, while tech-driven demand and economic incentives are accelerating clean energy investments, making renewables unstoppable despite shifting policies.
