Energy generated from renewable sources is becoming an important component in our energy profile as we are experiencing very high and volatile energy prices. Renewable energy facilities provide several benefits to local communities, economy and environment. These facilities make substantial and positive impact on local economies by generating new jobs as well as supporting local industries, businesses, and investments in local communities. This renewable energy will be reliable, dispatchable, competitive, and sustainable source of energy. This clean energy will also reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, foreign energy sources and thus increases our national security.
