Wind power and solar power are increasingly the most cost-competitive options for new electricity generation, and the installation numbers for the first 5 months of 2015 are just another way of showing that.
Based on data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and SEIA/GTM Research, I’ve just produced my latest CleanTechnica report on the US electricity generation capacity market. The biggest highlight, as you can see in the title, is that 74% of new US electricity generation capacity added in January–May of 2015 came from wind and solar power. Renewables as a whole accounted for 75% of new electricity generation capacity.
In May 2015, renewables (entirely solar and wind power) accounted for 49% of new electricity generation capacity, down a bit fro previous months due to a large influx of new natural gas power capacity.
While solar and wind are rocking it in 2015, it’s important to note that they still just represent 7.6% of all US electricity generation capacity, and their percentage of electricity generation is even lower (report forthcoming now published). Overall, all renewables now account for 18% of US electricity generation capacity.
Solar + Wind = 74% of New US Electricity Capacity January–May 2015 (Exclusive)

Wind and solar are winners!!!
No coal in May, No coal in 2015!!!! It is either renewables or natural gas...Why are solar and wind doing so good? They're now the cheapest and most economic sources of energy.
...probably that's why I lost my shirt on solar investments…Solar + Wind = 74% of New US Electricity Capacity January–May 2015 (Exclusive)

Natural gas or wind maybe good replacements.
Which reflects nothing but how politics trump economics.
Solar jobs growth rate is 10 times more than the national average for job growth http://ow.ly/t2IbF

Economics is what is pushing solar!!! In 5 years from now the subsidies your coal gets won't even save it!
Better stock up on cats.
Rub two of 'em together and you'll generate static electricity to ruin your tablet some night when de wind he don' blow.

Tens of millions of people use solar! You can't argue that solar is unreliable based on facts.
Thanks… I like the idea. Also you can pedal a stationary bicycle with a small generator instead of the rear wheel...Better stock up on cats.
