Solar Surpasses Gas in California

from San Jose News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

California’s energy future is solar-powered, and it’s rewriting the rules. For the first time ever, solar outpaced natural gas in average daily generation during the first five months of the year—despite political pushback favoring fossil fuels. The state, on track to hit carbon neutrality by 2045, is installing more solar and battery storage than any other U.S. state, with utility-scale solar capacity up 19% in just two years while gas capacity stagnated. This isn’t just a trend—it’s a revolution proving renewables can lead, not lag, in powering a massive economy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
