Isn clean energy too far away and too expensive to be practical?
No, in fact many states across the nation are already investing heavily in efficiency and making the switch to renewable energy. California’s aggressive efficiency programs have held per capita electricity use constant for over 10 years, while other states have seen energy use more than double. Thirty-four states currently get at least some of their power from wind and over 20 states already require a percentage of their energy to come from renewable sources. Minnesota has adopted a 30% renewable energy standard by 2020, while New Jersey has a 22.5% by 2020 requirement and New York is poised to get 24% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2013.
