QUOTE:

On April 10, 2019, daily electricity generation from wind turbines in the
United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) reached a high of 1.42 million
megawatthours (MWh). That record stood for a year and a half before it was
surpassed on several days in November and December 2020. Wind electricity
generation reached 1.76 million MWh on December 23, or about 17% of total
electricity generation on that day. On average, EIA estimates that wind
accounted for 9% of U.S. electricity generation in 2020.


This compares to 20% of total electricity generated by nuclear plants:
