Upstate New York must meet its pending energy crisis head-on — before it imperils our economic rennaissance.
According to 2022 state energy data, geothermal energy provided approximately 16 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, or 0.37% of the total electricity consumed in the country. As of May 2007, geothermal electric power was generated in five states: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.
Several states have clean energy standards, which also allow for resources that do not produce emissions, such as large hydropower and nuclear power. The RPS mechanism generally places an obligation on electricity supply companies to produce a specified fraction of their electricity from renewable energy sources.
Growth of net metering in the United States. Net metering is a policy by many states in the United States designed to help the adoption of renewable energy.Net metering was pioneered in the United States as a way to allow solar and wind to provide electricity whenever available and allow use of that electricity whenever it was needed, beginning with utilities in Idaho in 1980, and in Arizona ...
