What’s Next for Wind, Solar and Other Renewable Energy?
Description
Electricity demand is expected to increase 25% by 2050. How can renewable energy sources in the US help fill the gap?
Renewables will soon produce 25% of US electricity generation, and they've already surpassed coal as a share of output. How can renewables continue to meet the growing demand for energy, and what can we expect from emerging sources such as geothermal and fusion?
Join Steve Odland and guest Alex Heil, senior economist at The Conference Board, to find out why US energy usage is projected to increase, what's next for nuclear, solar, and wind, and why further efficiencies can be found by upgrading today’s grid.
