Solar and wind curb gas use as US electricity demand rises
Growth in solar and wind power is limiting the use of natural gas in the United States even as overall electricity demand increases. The finding suggests renewables are increasingly meeting new consumption needs that would previously have been covered by gas-fired generation, a notable shift in the US energy mix.
Why now: Renewables displacing gas during rising demand is a significant development for energy markets and climate policy.
