DOE Report Says Clean Energy Technologies Are Accelerating in the US
Substantial cost reductions are continuing to drive the adoption of clean energy technologies
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released its 2015 Revolution…Now report, which details the state of several clean energy technologies in the U.S. Building upon past reports, it shows a significant increase in deployment and a decrease in cost of clean technologies including solar and wind.
“We are experiencing a clean energy revolution in the United States, and this report confirms it,” said Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. “Today, clean energy technologies are providing real-world solutions — not only to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming, but they also drive a domestic, low-carbon economy with technologies that are increasingly cost-competitive with conventional technologies. We have the tools for a cleaner and more secure energy future.”
