"This Chart Will Cheer You Up"

"Look at wind and solar growth over the last 20 years. You can’t tell where a Democratic administration ends and a Republican administration begins."

"Are you feeling jittery about the future of the U.S. clean energy transition? Consider this.

Renewable energy in the U.S. has grown steadily over the last 20 years. Look at this chart of wind and solar expansion — you’d be hard-pressed to pick out where a Democratic administration ends and a Republican administration begins.

Canary Media’s team of experienced journalists has covered clean energy and climate policy throughout many swings of the political pendulum — Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, and now Trump 2.0. We know that the energy transition can and will continue no matter who’s in the White House. That’s not to say there won’t be major roadblocks ahead — there will be — but our reporters have the knowledge to put these hurdles into context and spotlight how, where, and why progress is happening despite serious federal headwinds."
