⚡️ Why is the US energy output mostly “nonrenewable”?

The US has a long history of relying on nonrenewable energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas to power its economy. This is partly due to the fact that these resources were plentiful and relatively cheap to extract, making them an attractive option for powering economic growth. While the US has made some progress in developing renewable energy infrastructure in recent years, the pace of development has been relatively slow compared to other countries. This is due to a variety of factors, including political and economic barriers to investment in renewable energy, as well as the challenges of integrating intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind into the existing grid.
