Renewable Energy

Millions of Americans in both rural and urban areas are already powering their homes using clean power from wind, solar and biomass. Today's renewable power is cost-competitive and ready to meet a sizeable piece of our nation's energy needs. Wind energy is the fastest-growing form of electricity generation in the country, expanding at a rate of 20 percent each year. Solar energy employs more than 20,000 American workers in well-paying, high-tech jobs. More and more states are requiring their utilities to generate a percentage of their power from renewable sources.
