Natural gas remained the top producer on that day.
This is a first for energy statistics.
It is representative of a massive increase in wind-based power over recent decades.
Last year, 42% of new energy was wind power as windmills proliferate across the country.
The growth ofclean energy industriessuch as wind and solar is one way to encourage a shift to clean sustainability.
