Takeaways
- Energy is truly a state-level endeavor in the United States. The difference among states is wild
- The coal phase out was real…even if we only switched to natural gas
- For all the news coverage, solar did not start seriously coming online until the 2020s (which also means it gets conflated with the big jumps)
- The biggest changes have all been in the Northeast
