The United States has an almost infinite energy source just waiting to be harnessed: Clean Energy. From wind-swept plains to sun-kissed hills and coastlines, our nation has unmatched potential for wind and solar energy development. These energy sources have the power to provide Americans with cheaper, more affordable electricity, while boosting the economies of communities which host wind and solar farms. 

Energy storage technology, vital to unlocking the full potential of the grid, is redefining renewable energy. Energy storage allows electricity produced by clean, affordable sources like wind and solar power to be stored for later use, even when the wind isn’t blowing, and the sun isn’t shining. These new technologies have driven down the costs of clean energy while increasing reliability, making renewable energy cost-competitive with other forms of electricity. In fact, clean energy is now the cheapest form of electricity generation in the United States!

Clean energy also helps foster our nation’s energy independence. Wind and solar power are homegrown in America, diversifying our nation’s energy portfolio and helping to reduce our dependence on imported fossil fuels. Regional wind, solar and natural gas resources integrate well, creating opportunities for both markets to grow while reducing the amount of imported fuels.

When coupled with America’s strong natural gas industry, clean energy sources like wind and solar power become a reliable, steady source of electricity and revenue for communities and landowners hosting energy projects. With our natural and abundant resources in wind, solar, hydro and natural gas, our nation holds incredible potential to lead the energy revolution with perpetual and infinite power sources.
