He expressed support for oil and gas production but also noted that solar and wind are cheap
sources of electricity in some areas of the country.
Coal will remain the
largest source of electricity generation, however growth in renewable generation will be twice as large as that of gas and coal combined over the next five years.
Wind energy is a highly flexible form of electricity, and easily complements
other sources of electricity such as hydro, solar or even natural gas.
What's more, there is no agency responsible for determining the most cost - effective and beneficial ways that water utilities can reduce global warming emissions and rely on
cleaner sources of electricity.
The agency predicts that this share will increase to 28 percent by the year 2021, making renewables the fastest -
growing source of electricity generation in the world.
What used to be labeled a competitive disadvantage may quickly be turning into a competitive advantage for those who move first to deploy low -
carbon sources of electricity generation.
The document reviews the characteristics of nuclear power in comparison with alternative
sources of electricity supply, according to economic, social and environmental pillars of sustainability.
What these critics fail to recognize is that the contribution made by
conventional sources of electricity generation represent a historical legacy — they do not reflect modern investments in the electricity grid.
The data suggest wind and solar are quickly becoming

source of electricity capacity.
We (and others) have voiced concerns that taxing natural gas, but not taxing coal, could make coal a relatively cheaper
source of electricity despite its heavier carbon footprint.
There are many places where wind / solar are the cheapest
sources of electricity now and the costs of installing them per kWh generated is still falling rapidly.
And while it's true that clouds can affect the efficiency of solar panels, they can still produce enough power to be
viable sources of electricity.
Over the next five years, renewables will remain the fastest -
growing source of electricity generation, with their share growing to 28 % in 2021 from 23 % in 2015.
