Renewable energy -- from the sun, the wind, plants, moving water, and the heat of the earth -- works for America. It is providing:
- Green jobs for the economy
- Clean air for the environment
- Jobs and income for rural America
- Stable prices for consumers
The best way to keep it growing is through a national Renewable Electricity Standard (RES). By requiring utlities to buy gradually increasing amounts of renewable power, the Standard creates a long term market opportunity, making developers compete to supply renewable energy at the lowest price.
On this web clearinghouse, we have collected information about renewable power from every state, provided up-to-date information on federal policy proposals in Washington, the best analysis of the costs and benefits, a list of supporters and recent polls, and the latest news clips.
