    developing wind and solar energy would be the smartest way to go. Mark Lewis argues that oil prices could stay so low that is no longer economic to bring in high cost new oil fields. But even if the oil price does rise, it will not be able to compete with a renewable such as solar and wind. 1. Recent studies like these shed new light on wind and solar energy, which previous studies had not addressed. Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing aspects of renewable energy in the United States. The…
