The proposed state is one of the best locations for wind power in the world. It contributed 10% of the electricity generation in 2015. This helps the country because the cost of pollution declines. As of this year, it is placed as the third largest producer of wind power. Public opinion shows strong support for wind power.
The sun is a sustainable source of power. Global energy demand is rapidly increasing, and therefore this country has taken advantage of its sustainable source of power to improve its solar power. Becoming one of the world’s largest producers of photovoltaics and solar thermal energy.
The world’s first-largest producer of natural gas, producing an estimated 715 billion cubic meters of gas a year, and the world’s largest exporter shipping an estimated 214 bcm a year. Therefore, this has been one of the top priorities of the country because it has boosted the economy and made it a world power. It also drives down the energy cost domestically, and supply exceeds domestic

    Because of international relations, fossil fuel are inconsistent in cost and supply, just look at how often gas prices fluctuate. Also, carbon emissions create a problem concerning air pollution, a cleaner process like solar energy would be especially beneficial to countries like China which is known for its smog. Now, on the other side, the US leading non-profit in solar power, SEIA states that there is no argument that is able to deny that solar power is the most plentiful and cleanest sustainable power source in the world. The U.S.A. has an abundance of solar revenues, one of the biggest in the world, ready for…

    China’s large land mass and long coastline supports an excellent potential of wind power. As electricity is in higher demand each year for China, coal-generated electricity stays consistent. With the size of China’s economy, a study showed that a 900 billion-dollar investment could replace 640 GW of coalfired power (Block, 2016). By connecting high voltage transmissions lines to these areas can support the rising demand from China in a sustainable…

    It trades at less than 15 times last year’s earnings, while the forward P/E is less than 9. Additionally, a PEG ratio of less than 1, at 0.52, is another indication of undervaluation. At this valuation, Delta Air Lines looks like an enticing proposition, especially since it has industry-leading metrics and has one of the most attractive valuations. This is evident from the chart given below: Source: Delta Air Lines Conclusion Hence, there are a number of reasons why Delta Air Lines is still a good bet even though it trades near the higher end of its 52-week band. The company’s earnings power will continue getting better as costs decline and it taps growth markets such as Brazil.…

    As a result of the tax extension, solar prices are predicted to fall while installation rates and technological efficiencies are predicted to rise. The solar investment tax credit is said to be a great success story and it is expected to continue over the next several years. Roughly 27 gigawatts of solar energy was installed in the US at the end of 2015, and it is expected to reach 100 gigawatts by the end of 2020. Around 210,000 Americas are currently employed in the solar industry and that number is expected to double to 420,000 by the end of 2020. While doubling jobs, the tax credit also spurred roughly $140 billion dollars in economic activity.…

    Projects of individual wind power have been expanded as a result of its comparatively cheap cost. In 2011, the United States built the largest operating wind farm in the world which generated about 0.8 GW (Zatzman 2012). According to Ali (2012), the utilization of individual turbines is also expanding because of the requirement for power in countryside zones. It was also suggested that the spread of renewables to more areas and nations helps the world 's individuals to meet their fundamental needs, as well as to grow the economy. Lyatkher (2013) pointed out that small individual wind farms in China was providing energy to almost 1.7 million individuals.…

    Germany is the world leader in photovoltaic installations, and represents 32% of the world’s peak photovoltaic power capacity of 102GW; however, its typical insolation levels are relatively low. The United States, containing large areas with above-average insolation levels, had a peak photovoltaic power capacity of 8043MW as of 2012, 8% of the worldwide total [15]. This suggests that on a global scale, photovoltaic installations are driven by economic incentives (which are abundant in Germany), above geographical practicality. Typically, utility-scale photovoltaic power plants are smaller in power capacity than the average fossil fuel plant; the current largest photovoltaic installation is the Agua Caliente plant in Arizona, with a peak capacity of 290MW, compared with the average United States coal plant capacity of 570MW [16,17]. Outlook Utility-scale photovoltaics must compete not only with other renewable technologies, but also conventional fossil fuel sources.…
