Renewable Energy
-
Provides environmental benefits.
Renewable energy generators emit no carbon dioxide and, thus, do not contribute to climate change.
-
Sustains the Local Economy
The dollars spent on renewable energy projects are usually circulated locally, not overseas, creating more community jobs and fostering local economic growth.
-
Improves Energy Independence
The vast majority of conventional energy reserves are located overseas, while renewable fuel is local and abundant.
-
Encourages Price Stability
Volatile fossil fuel costs create unpredictable electricity prices. Renewable energy prices are stable and help reduce the volatility of our electricity bills.
-
Our Sun
While many experts predict fossil fuel production will peak in the near future, renewable sources of energy will never run out.
