For renewable energy and conservation
When it comes to renewable energy, both blue and red states are going green. The latest results posted on Environment America’s 2024 Renewables on the Rise online dashboard show Texas, California, Iowa, Oklahoma and Kansas as the top five states for total renewable energy generation. Meanwhile, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and other Southeast states saw a 33-fold increase in solar from 2014 to 2023. With 10 offshore wind farms approved, 6 million kids attending solar-powered schools, and new Environment America-backed energy-saving standards finalized, clean energy continues to exceed even the sunniest expectations.
