For one day at least, wind was the second-largest source of energy in the U.S., just behind natural gas, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
A U.N. panel published a new report on Feb. 28, 2022, summarizing the latest information on global warming and its effect on people.
"Daily wind-powered electricity had surpassed coal-fired and nuclear electricity generation separately on other days earlier this year, but had not surpassed both sources on a single day," the EIA said. Texas has the most wind turbine capacity among states, as of December 2020. That year, Texas generated more electricity from wind than the next three highest states combined, according to the EIA.
Typically during the spring and fall months, nuclear and coal reduce their output because the demand tends to be lower, which could have been part of the reason why wind power produced more energy than either source on March 29, the EIA said.
