Electrified

In recent years, the United States has seen significant changes in its electricity generation mix. The use of coal has declined, with natural gas becoming the primary source of electricity generation. Additionally, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar have become increasingly popular, with their share of the electricity mix growing steadily. The development of new technologies, such as battery storage, has also helped to integrate intermittent renewable sources into the grid. The transition to a cleaner, more diversified energy mix is expected to continue as states and utilities set aggressive carbon reduction targets and invest in new infrastructure to support renewable energy deployment. Interestingly, the total amount of electricity generated has not increased significantly despite a growing economy implying the US consumes less electric energy per dollar of GDP.
