Renewable energy in the U.S. has seen substantial growth since 2000, with overall energy generation increasing by 91.2% between 2000 and 2020.
IOW, less than double in 20 years, coming from small base? That explains why so many solar and wind companies went under.
Re e360.yale.edu - unfortunately, this 2021 "debunking study" has created several easily debunked myths of its own, including selectively defining self-referential metrics of growth and costs, which are typical of 'Denominator Blindness'-biased studies.
Growth of renewables has stalled since 2021 (as they ran out of existing nearby NG plants, needed for backup), with great losses to producers like Siemens Energy (wind), and projects' developers. NG share keeps increasing, replacing coal. Renewables simply don't have necessary energy density and availability:

The hottest investments in energy infrastructure now are nuclear plants and gas turbines, also green/blue hydrogen research.

China has 3x the electricity capacity of the United States because they are smarter... They don't label viable technologies "dumb"
Exactly! As part of "not labeling viable technologies dumb" China is building up renewables where practical, while generating more than 60% of their electricity using coal-fired plants and is building more of them, buying some of cheap coal from the US:

China is energy-abundant because, while selling "renewable" solar panels to the rest of the world, they were also investing in and building nuclear plants and are now building world's largest hydroelectric dam, which will generate 3x electricity of Three Gorges Dam - that's more than 20% of total US capacity.
