Five Clean-Tech Actions for President Obama

Thursday, November 8th, 2012

The election is over and the people have spoken.

It won’t be an easy job. Mr. Obama will need to enable the creation of millions of new jobs, embolden U.S energy, environmental, and national security, and lead our country into a robust economic future – all while dealing with a sharply divided electorate.

Solar Energy: Economic Impact of Extending the Section 1603 Treasury Program

Friday, October 21st, 2011
Additional Employment Supported by the U.S. Solar Energy Industry in 2012, 2013 and 2016

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
The U.S. solar market has experienced rapid growth in the last few years and is poised to continue growing over the next five years according to our baseline forecast. However, extending the TGP would significantly accelerate this growth, increasing investment, employment and deployment across the U.S. While an extension would benefit all sectors of the solar industry, utility-scale solar development would see some of the longest lasting impacts due to the long project development process.

Integrating Renewable Electricity on the Grid

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010
Superconducting Cables

AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY
The United States has ample renewable energy resources. Land-based wind, the most readily available for development, totals more than 8000 GW of potential capacity. The capacity of concentrating solar power is nearly 7,000 GW in seven southwestern states. The generation potential of photovoltaics is limited only by the land area devoted to it, 100–250 GW/100 km2 in the United States. To illustrate energy capacity vs. projected demand, the US generated electric power at an average rate of approximately 450 GW in 2009, with peaks over 1000 GW during the summer months. By 2035, electricity demand is projected to rise 30%.
