California draws more electricity from the sun than any other state. It also has a timing problem: Solar power is plentiful during the day but disappears by evening, just as people get home from work, and electricity demand spikes. To fill the gap, power companies typically burn more fossil fuels like natural gas. That’s now changing.

By Nadja Popovich | New York TimesNatural gas surpassed coal as the country’s top source of power in 2016, and renewables like wind and solar have grown quickly to become major players in the U.S. power system. But every state has its own story. In Nevada, natural gas became the top source of electricity generation in 2005, earlier than in many other places. More recently, solar power has surged there.

When President Joe Biden signed the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, it was expected to set off a boom in renewable energy, with hefty tax breaks that would make solar and wind power cheaper than fossil fuels. So far, however, that dream has only come partly true. Solar panel installations are indeed soaring to record highs in the United States, as are batteries that can store energy for later. But wind power has struggled, both on land and in the ocean.

Cuando el presidente Joe Biden firmó la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación en 2022, la expectativa era que desencadenaría un auge en la energía renovable debido a las enormes exenciones fiscales ofrecidas, que harían más barata la energía solar y la eólica que los combustibles fósiles. Sin embargo, hasta ahora ese sueño solo se ha vuelto realidad en parte.
