Solar Power Beats Coal in US

For the First time in History, Solar Power generated More Energy than Coal in the U.S., in 5/2026, Solar Power made up 12.8% of the U.S. pPwer Supply, while Coal only accounted for 12.2% of the Country's Energy Consumption.

5/2025 was the Fourth-Lowest month when it comes to Coal's share in the U.S. Power Grid system. This Development in Solar Power is known, thanks to Data collected by the Hlobal Energy Think Tank Ember, along with a Report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Analytics Firm Wood Mackenzie.

Ember remarks that the Growth of Solar Power and the Decline of Coal are taking place, despite Federal Support for Coal. At the same time, Coal Power has Lost its Status, First as the Largest Source in the U.S. mix, and then gradually over the years has Fallen even Further.

Euronews Highlights that Solar has become the Third Largest Source of Energy in the U.S., far behind Natural Gas and Nuclear. This comes as Energy Consumption in the U.S. is due to the growing Demands of the Tech Industry, from Building Data Centers to Supplying AI-related Projects.

The International Energy Agency Affirms that Green Energy will become the Leading Global Source of Electricity, representing about 45% of the World's Electric Generation by 2030. However, while Renewable Energy is gaining Momentum in the U.S. and around the Globe, the Trump (R) Administration is Not exactly Supportive of it. According to Euronews, Trump announced earlier this month, a Plan to Boost the Coal Industry in the U.St.

The Ambitious U.S. Government Scheme would provide about 700 million U.S. Dollars to Support Coal Power Plants and Coal Exports. “Coal's a great business,” Trump said during a White House Event. “In terms of power, there’s really nothing like it.” At the same time, Trump hasBblamed Renewable Power Sources for Rising Energy Costs in the U.S.

The Guardian remarks that the Trump Administration has Cancelled Solar and Wind related Projects in the U.S., including Terminating 7 Billion Dollars in Funding for Solar Power. White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers (R) Defended the current U.S. Government's Energy Policy, Arguing it Strengthened the Security of the U.S.
