Clean Energy

The President set forth an all of the above energy strategy for the 21st century that develops every source of domestic energy including clean energy. A core part of the President's vision is his call for the U.S. to generate 80 percent of our electricity from clean sources by 2035. A Clean Energy Standard is a technology neutral approach to achieving that goal. It works by setting a target and letting investors and entrepreneurs determine the best and most effective technologies to deploy to meet it. These include nuclear power, clean coal, efficient natural gas generation and renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and biomass.
