Solar power could provide nearly half of America's electricity by the middle of this century, the Biden administration said in a study released Wednesday as it tries to prove that its ambitious zero-emissions goal can be reached by then. SOURCE: NBC NEWS

The study by the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy

found that meeting the administration's climate change goals would require increasing the solar share of energy production to at least 37 percent by 2035, And then to 44 percent or greater by the year 2050.

The rest of the clean energy would come from other clean energy sources, with the Biden administration envisioning wind as the second most used source of energy. With little

help from others like Nuclear power, and hydropower.
