Electricity generated by windmills has begun to out-power both coal and nuclear plants. The 2000 gigawatts of electricity generated in the US last Tuesday surpassed all sources other than natural gas. Last year, wind power was the fourth leading source behind gas, nuclear, and coal. The administration set a goal to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy alone. The EIA projects the US will bring another 7.6 gigawatts of utility-scale wind online this year, alongside 21.5 gigawatts of utility-scale solar power.
