Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects combined electricity generation from solar and wind to exceed coal for the first time in 2024. The cost of gasoline and the carbon footprint of EVs could both fall in the new year. Solar alone is expected to increase 39% from 2023 thanks to continual increases in generating capacity.
