Renewable Energy Accounted For ALL New U.S. Capacity In November

Renewable energy accounted for all new U.S. capacity in November. "The U.S. added 394 megawatts of new capacity to produce electricity in November, and all of it came from renewable sources, according to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announcement on Friday. The latest "Energy Infrastructure Update" report from FERC's Office of Energy Projects now shows that energy sources such as biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind have now accounted for more than a third -- 34.9 percent -- of all new electrical generating capacity in the United States, with the majority coming from solar. As for total installed operating generating capacity, renewable sources now account for nearly 16 percent, the report said." Emily Atkin in ThinkProgress
