California produced 26% of the national utility-scale solar electricity followed by Texas with 16% and North Carolina with 8%.The most wind generation occurred in Texas, which accounted for 26% of the U.S. total followed by Iowa and Oklahoma . Wind turbines stand in fields near Palm Springs, California, on March 22, 2023.

This presents challenges for engineers and policy-makers, Porder said, because existing energy grids were built to deliver power from a consistent source. Renewables such as solar and wind generate power intermittently. So battery storage, long-distance transmission and other steps will be needed to help address these challenges, he said.climate-changing fossil fuels
