Wind-generated electricity surpassed coal and nuclear and became second only to natural gas for a day in March.
The Energy Information Administration data shows that on March 29, wind turbines across the states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and a few other regions generated enough electricity to cover demand.
EIA stated that this was the first time wind turbines surpassed their electricity production beyond coal, nuclear, and other power sources on the same day.
Wind-powered electricity has gone beyond both but on separate days.
Observations also indicated consistent growth in wind-powered electricity generation across the nation.
Natural gas has always been the leading electricity source in the US, but such growth in wind-fueled energy does paint a hopeful future in clean energy.
