Multiple outlets report that U.S. solar power is reaching new milestones despite policy efforts by the Trump administration to boost coal over clean energy. Coverage cites recent findings from energy and industry sources, including the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, and also references an Ember report alongside SEIA in at least one account. The reports conclude that solar generation and deployment keep growing and that coal’s role in the power mix continues to shrink. One source says solar remains the leading source of new electricity capacity, indicating that most recent additions to U.S. power generation come from solar rather than coal. While the articles note the administration’s push for coal, they emphasize that the underlying market and generation trends still favor solar expansion. Overall, the coverage portrays a contrast between policy direction and electricity-generation outcomes, with solar continuing to add capacity and coal continuing to decline across the U.S. power sector.
