As worldwide demand for energy skyrockets, secure and inexpensive access to fossil fuels is no longer possible.  As a result, harnessing energy from alternative fuel sources is critical to ensure long-term energy security and a responsible approach to our environmental concerns.

U.S. federal and state government agencies have recognized this and are creating economic incentives that encourage an energy infrastructure using distributed power generation fueled by renewable resources such as water, wind, solar, and biomass. Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) are state to state targets that provide clear goals for the renewable energy mix.

• For investors in this sector, investment and production tax credits as well as other financial incentives make renewable energy projects an investment vehicle that provides attractive returns, a cleaner environment, and a more independent energy future.

• For customers, these economic incentives translate into lower cost electricity.  In many cases, renewable energy sources can deliver power at rates that are at or below current brown power utility rates.  

	photovoltaic technology enables sunlight to be converted to into electricity GO> • A silent, highly reliable technology • Ideal for urban, distributed generation needs anywhere there is sufficient sunshine •Production matches peak load requirements which can shave high cost grid electricity
	utilizes the power of wind to turn large turbines which create electricity • Fast growing sector of renewable energy • Large and small scale applications
	converts organic waste material into electricity, heat, or liquid fuels • Utilizes materials that would otherwise decompose naturally over long time periods • Resulting fuel tends to be inexpensive
	Converts agricultural and other waste products into methane gas and electricity • Cleanly disposes of existing waste • Enables agricultural farms to be potential electricity generators
