Growth in wind and solar has lowered the cost of solar and wind by 88 percent and 69 percent, respectively, since 2009…There are now three times as many renewable energy jobs as coal, nuclear and natural gas jobs…The true cost of green energy sources is now less than the cost of coal, natural gas and nuclear…Total solar and wind potential is 14 times current electric power capacity. But rather than adopting policies to dramatically accelerate wind, solar and battery storage, Republicans are promoting policies to protect fossil fuels and slow the growth of renewable energy…” click here for more
