> Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), processed by Ember’s US Electricity Data Explorer, shows that in the 12 months ending April 2025, solar generated 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, compared to 81.6 TWh from natural gas.

I thought this was going to be the usual headline bait-and-switch where it would be revealed to only be the top source of electricity for like two hours around noon on a single Saturday, but I'm happy to have been wrong here.
