Renewable Energy News – news and information resources about renewable and sustainable energy technologies. Alternative energy funding, renewable energy investment, green energy, solar power information, and much more.

Russell Roberts‘s insight:

Nice sentiments from the Western Governors Association. The idea is great, but do we have the will to wean ourselves from oil? I don’t think so as long as renewable energy sources aren’t price competitive with imported oil. Nothing much will be done until renewable energy is seen as profitable, storable, and transportable. Aloha, Russ.
