Renewable energy in the U.S. reached an all-time high last year, with wind, solar and hydroelectric plants meeting almost a quarter of the nation’s power demand as electric vehicle sales also surged to their highest levels ever.

The numbers are from the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook 2024, released this week.
