10 States That Produce the Most Renewable Energy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

American renewable energy production has nearly doubled since the turn of the century, according to nonpartisan data center USAFacts, as states across the nation develop a diversified infrastructure that environmentalists hope will be the future of energy in the United States.

But where does most of the country’s renewable energy production come from? U.S. Energy Information Administration data shows that different parts of the country lead the way when it comes to different renewables such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass as well as other fossil fuel alternatives like nuclear energy.

In the first quarter of 2022, Texas led all states in overall renewable energy production, accounting for over 14% of the country’s totals, due in large part to the state’s prolific wind energy program. Texas produced nearly a quarter of the nation’s wind energy, a percentage that is likely to grow after President Joe Biden last week announced his plan to expand offshore wind infrastructure for the first time into the Gulf of Mexico. The plan includes a wind farm larger than the city of Houston off the coast of Galveston, Texas, with the potential to power as many as 2.3 million homes.

Following Texas in overall renewable energy production was Washington, the country’s leader in hydroelectric energy, which generated over 10% of the national total. California, the nation’s leader in both utility-scale solar and geothermal, ranked third in overall production.
