Why can’t the United States use only renewable sources of energy to power the country?
While renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power offer great potential to meet the nation’s energy needs, RMI endorses the efficient use of energy as the most important, economical, underused, overlooked, and misunderstood way to meet our energy demands. Efficiency is rapidly becoming more feasible and economical as technologies, delivery methods, and integrative design improve. However with efforts to end our dependence on fossil fuels there is no “silver bullet” and RMI believes that a diversified energy portfolio—including but not limited to renewable energy—is important to meeting our future energy demands.
