Annual US power generation from wind turbines declined in 2023 for the first time since the mid-1990s – here’s why. gigawatts (GW) of new wind capacity last year, but data from the US Energy Information Administration’s “ Power Plant Operations Report ” show that US wind generation in 2023 totaled 425,235 gigawatt-hours (GWh) – 2.1%

University of Iowa researchers have found that smoke resulting from spring agricultural land-clearing fires in Central America and transported across the Gulf of Mexico intensified tornado conditions already in process in the United States. In fact, the simulation including the smoke resulted in a lowered cloud base and greater wind shear.

When we look at ways to efficiently store energy from wind and solar sources, lithium-based batteries are expensive and world-wide geological resources of lithium are actually quite limited. A sodium-based battery, on the other hand, has the potential to store larger amounts of electrical energy at a significantly lower cost.

These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. Energy source. Proportional amount of emissions relative to hydro. Natural gas.
