I guess what the parent article alludes to, is increasing political balkanisation, which is what I'm seeing. Not just a tale of two America's, but of many. The consequence is an increasing inability to act in concert for the good of the whole. And it seems to be getting worse. This is just another data point. So while collectively, the renewable energy may be growing, the disparity of its distribution is (to my mind) yet another sign of the eroding viability of your country as a country (rather than as a collection of states or counties).

Like with every where else, it's hard to get a sense of what's going on thru media. eg I live in Seattle. During the BLM / George Flyod related protests, corporate media reported the CHAZ (Capital Hill Autonomous Zone) as an urban war zone. Meanwhile, locals were treating it like a block party, with arts, foods, baby strollers, etc. While the online political slapfight continues to degrade (self radicalization and calls to violence), ever more people are stepping back (the actual doers) or checked out entirely (apathy).
