ALT A screenshot of an article hero titled, Report: Solar the largest source of new U.S. generating capacity over 12 months, by Brad Kramer, October 24, 2024. The image shows an American flag background set behind a tilted set of solar panels.
ALT A Veterans Day tribute graphic with a faded image of an American flag in the background. At the top, text reads "Honoring All Who Served" with three stars beneath it. In the center, large text says "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE," also flanked by stars. At the bottom, it reads "Veterans Day, November 11, 2024" with the Sun Tribe logo beneath.
ALT two prominent stats are shown. The first, a bold "3.5 million" sits above the text, "the approximate number of clean energy workers at the start of 2024." and the second a bold "200%" sits above, "the rate that clean energy jobs grew in 2023, compared to job growth economy-wide".

ALT The image shows two sections side-by-side. On the left, there are solar panels in a field during sunset with power lines in the background. On the right, there are wind turbines spinning over green fields at dusk, with mountains in the distance. The title above the image reads: "Agricultural Land Near Solar and Wind Projects Usually Remained in Agriculture After Development," and it's credited to Karen Maguire, Sophia Tanner, and Justin B. Winikoff.
ALT The image has a background of solar panels and yellow flowers in a field. The overlaid text presents: Myth #1: Solar projects hurt farmers and rural communities. What to know: Solar projects can actively benefit both farmers and rural communities.
ALT an image shows solar panels with a text box that says "myth #2: toxic heavy metals leach out of solar panels, threatening human health. What to know: solar panels contain the same toxic materials found in everyday electronics like smartphones and pose little risk to human health."
ALT "The US solar industry employed more than double any other electricity generation technology sector in 2023." U.S. Department of Energy, shared by PV Tech. Bar colors and categories: Solar (orange): The highest bar with around 375,000 employees. Wind (purple): Approximately 115,000 employees. Natural gas (gray): Slightly below wind, with just over 110,000 employees. Hydropower (blue): Around 75,000 employees. Coal (dark red): Around 60,000 employees. Nuclear (red): Close to coal, also around 60,000 employees. Oil (black): The lowest category, with less than 25,000 employees. This chart highlights the dominance of the solar industry in employment, vastly surpassing other energy sectors like wind, natural gas, and fossil fuels like coal and oil.
