According to the circle graph, only 1 percent of all the electricity in the United States is generated using solar energy. The reason for this is because currently solar cells are expensive to build and maintain. As solar energy becomes cheaper to use, it will most likely become a more popular source of electrical energy. ( this came right of study island )
The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.
