US renewable energy generation is projected to hit 45% by 2032 (up from 16% in 2022). The longer electric cars are on the road, the larger portion of power will be renewable.

If we increase renewable energy an additional 29% in 10 years, that will be a really impressive step in the right direction in what seems to me a short amount of time. Fingers crossed. (I wonder if the predicted increase factors in the fickle winds of politics which seemingly could derail anything positive with the stroke of a pen. It blows my mind that there are people so adamantly against the EPA and not having things like Love Canal and the Cuyahoga River catching on fire at least a dozen times.)
