So recently it seems Wind Power has eclipsed Hydroelectricity as the largest contributor of renewable energy at least here in the United States. Just less then a fifth of America's energy comes from 'renewable' energy resources such as wind, solar or hydro power with the lions share still belonging to fossil fuels and a significant minority fraction to nuclear power. As of 2019 over seven percent of America's electricity was delivered by wind power, the vast majority of which was constructed on wind farms in the past decade.
Solar Power meanwhile provides around two percent of America's energy needs and Hydroelectricity just a smidgen less then Wind. What do you all see as the future of power generation, especially in regards to renewable energies like those stated here or beyond?
