Despite the Trump administrations efforts to roll back Obama-era renewable power policies and double down on fossil fuel production, the United States continues to break clean energy records.

A new report from the Natural Resources Defense Council , an environmental organization, looked at data from U.S. government databases and other sources on renewables and energy efficiency from 2016 and the first half of 2017. It found that the U.S. made record-breaking progress in several areas, from increasing solar and wind power capacity and generation to reducing carbon pollution and greenhouse gases.

Some of the historic firsts in renewable energy in the past year included adding more than 14 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2016 almost double the record-breaking amount in 2015. And for the first time on record in 2017, solar and wind provided over 10 percent of all electricity power for a single month in the U.S. in both March and April. In some regions, such as California and Texas, wind and solar at times met more than 50 percent of total energy demand.

The country also added its first offshore wind farm last year off of Rhode Islands Block Island, though the U.S. still trails behind Europe in the industry, which has been active there for years.

President Donald Trump has made several moves to reverse the countrys progress on climate and clean energy, from pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord to signing executive orders to roll back the Obama administrations Clean Power Plan and lift its ban on leasing federal land for coal development.

But the NRDC and a slew of other environmental and renewable power advocates remain confident that the U.S. will continue to make strides on clean energy in the coming years, largely thanks to the actions of states, cities and businesses.

Despite changes at federal level in November 2016, the clean energy growth and reduction in carbon pollution and greenhouse gases is still continuing, report author Amanda Levin told HuffPost. Not only was it the best year on record 2017 and 2018 are still looking like strong years.

But if the government sends the wrong market signals promoting coal use or natural gas over renewables or energy efficiency, Levin added, it makes it hard to continue to build energy-efficient buildings or renewable sources of power to reach long-term climate goals.
