ysabetwordsmithFossil fuels made up less than half of the U.S. electricity mix in March for the first month on record
In March 2025, fossil fuels accounted for 49.2% of electricity generated in the U.S. — beating the previous monthly record low of 51% set last year in April.
This also means that renewable sources reached all-time highs — accounting for 50.8% of U.S. electricity for the first month on record. Nearly half of that came from wind and solar alone, which have been seeing (and will continue to see) exponential growth.
Well, it's progress.
