68th U.S. Secretary of State & Co-Exec Chair of Galvanize
@JohnKerry tells us 92% of new electricity coming into the United States is renewables:
"We have 37 states out of 50 that have passed laws requiring them to deploy more renewables and during President Trump's first term, 75% of the new electricity that came online in America came online from renewables."
"This year, now even though you hear all this opposition by the President, it's 92% of the new electricity is coming from renewables...batteries are now being used in Texas, the home of oil and gas, to balance the Texas grid in order to provide cheap electricity to their clients and people like it."
"So they have wind, solar, storage, and of course gas. And it's a balanced system and that's how you avoid having the problems of people saying, 'Oh, you know, you're going to deprive me of my TV' or, 'You know, my house won't be heated,' or whatever. Not true."
