The Cost of Reneweable Energy
What is the cost of renewable energy?
This is a trick question. Renewable energy, by definition, is free, because it uses unlimited energy sources, such as water, solar, and wind. No matter how much wind we convert to electricity, there will always be more wind. Wind is free to use and can be found in abundance. Converting wind to electricity by way of an electrical generator, on the other hand, requires research, technology, equipment, and upkeep. These cost money, and the investment in renewable energy is often cost-prohibitive. As a result, renewable energy is rarely used by today’s consumers in the residential sector. The renewable energy industry in the United States is growing, however, with incentives offered by the government and projects supported by the Department of Energy. Renewable energy is making history.
