The most significant of these require utilities to obtain increasing percentages of their sales of electricity or their generating capacity from renewable sources, such as wind energy. As this article seeks to demonstrate, state law will continue to play an important role in the development of wind...
Negative percentages mean more respondents responded unfavorably. Democrats vs. Republicans on Industry Favorability From a glance, it’s immediately noticeable that quite a few industries have divided Democrats and Republics quite severely.

The regional concentration of savings in the Southeast and Great Lakes/Mid-Atlantic regions mirror the distribution of baseline building electricity demand in Figure 2. Reduction percentages are generally largest for the summer peak metric, when they range from 43%–67% in residential buildings and ...
2 Strategies to meet these targets in the energy sector include two key elements: (1) transitioning electricity generation to low-carbon technologies such as wind and solar and (2) electrifying energy needs in transportation, industry, and buildings. Transitioning buildings off natural gas (and ...
Electric school bus adoption also appears to be occurring equitably when looking at the distribution of buses among communities of color. Among committed electric school buses, 85% are in school districts with the highest percentages of people of color as defined by the EPA’s EJScreen data....
