미국에서 태양광이 처음으로 석탄보다 많은 에너지를 생산함

Solar energy surpassed coal for the first time in US electricity generation in May 2025, marking a critical inflection point in America's energy transition. This milestone reflects fundamental economic logic rather than policy—investors continue allocating capital to the most profitable sources, with solar and battery storage comprising 91% of new generation capacity in Q1, despite Trump administration efforts to subsidize coal and restrict clean energy. The transition accelerates as electricity demand rises from AI infrastructure, domestic manufacturing, and grid electrification, positioning solar to permanently exceed coal within years regardless of political headwinds.
