2021 and 2025 are regression years for the US as Coal increases
It’s a shame that nuclear has not increased by much in the last 20 years. I wonder why when it is the best option for clean energy.
don’t call it natural gas, that’s greenwashing it. call it methane, that’s what it is.
Soon: clouds of Dyson sails
Crazy that the president just pledged over 100 million to the dying coal industry. Just let it go
Good plot. A couple points
. You don’t need units in every number on the vertical axis. Units are already in the axis label.
. You didn’t include an axis label on the horizontal axis.
Insane that a candidate in 2016 and in 2024 ran on the promise of bringing back coal jobs: one look at this chart should have shown that was an unwise and unpractical policy.
Amazing that for 20 years we have not really increased our electricity consumption. More efficient appliances, lights, HVAC…with the recent uptick maybe being data centers?
Disappointing that our total fossil fuel TWh is basically the same from 10 years ago, even if renewables % share has increased.
If „Other Fossil“ is so significant, I’m gonna need to know what’s in that category.
interesting, here is Australia’s NEM (basically every state except Western Australia)

drop in the ocean compared to the USA, but renewables are smashing it (but TBC whether that trend continues …)
The colors are this aren’t particularly beautiful… someone of them are easy to confuse with others.
I wonder if the flattening of the total power generation around 2007 is from majority of people switching away from incandescent light bulbs.
It might be worth footnoting that this data is *utility-scale* electricity generation.
While it’s not huge on the scale of this graph, rooftop solar is estimated to produce another 100 Twh or so, which is larger than biomass, geothermal, and „other fossil“ combined.
The chart lacks a title. No way to tell what it is charting.
This chart only includes utility scale solar, it doesn’t include residential solar. Even if it did include residential solar, it has historically been under counted.
Residential solar (and utility scale solar to a point) disrupts the energy companies monopoly on electricity generation.
Energy companies love nuclear for this same reason
It’s insane how much solar has been built and it’s still only a small impact so far. Keep on building!
Is it really OC if it’s basically just remaking a graph that already exists on the source? Also, what the hell is ’nyjournal.com‘?
