Introduction:
The following studies were produced by various governmental, business,
academic, and non-profit organizations. Each provides information and
analyses about the near-term potential and/or status of renewable energy and
energy efficient technologies. Collectively, they document how it is
possible to use sustainable energy technologies to meet U.S. energy needs
while simultaneously reducing energy imports, phasing-out nuclear power, and
cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
