Oversaw implementation of Inflation Reduction Act energy provisions
For most of modern American history, coal generated the majority of the nation's electricity — roughly half of every kilowatt-hour consumed from the 1950s through the 2000s. In 2022, renewable sources surpassed coal-fired generation on an annual basis for the first time. By 2023, renewables produced about 22% of U.S. electricity while coal had fallen to 16%, a gap that is accelerating year over year.
