Amid a historic economic contraction, renewable resources grew to account for one-fifth of all electricity produced in the U.S. in 2020, according to newly released data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance and the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, a coalition of clean energy, utility and natural gas companies.
Record-breaking wind and solar additions brought zero-carbon resources which also include hydro and nuclear to 40 percent of the 2020 electricity mix in the United States.

AARON ORLOWSKI, HOST
To fight climate change, we’ll need to kick our fossil fuel habit. But switching won’t be easy, especially for airplanes running on jet fuel, for heavy duty trucks burning diesel and for stovetops using gas in homes across California. And that’s where hydrogen comes in. How can we replace fossil fuels in these trickier instances? And how are researchers at UCI proving the possibilities of clean hydrogen?
From the University of California, Irvine, I’m Aaron Orlowski and you’re listening to the UCI Podcast.
Today, I’m speaking with Jack Brouwer, who is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering here at UCI. He’ss also the director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center, as well as the director of the Advanced Power and Energy Program, both of which are housed here at UCI.
