Energy Resources

The EPA currently underestimates the power of renewable energy. The U.S. could achieve much greater reductions in carbon emissions by strengthening the role of renewables in the Clean Power Plan.

By 2017, more than half of US states could have rooftop solar that's as cheap as local electricity rates.

A definitive, scientific retelling of exactly what happened at Fukushima—and an urgent reminder that U.S. nuclear power isn’t as safe as it could and should be.

Solar power – clean, reliable, and increasingly affordable – is experiencing remarkable growth across the U.S.

Coal-fired power plants, which produce a significant share of US electricity, have significant impacts on water quantity and quality.

Locations and information for California renewable energy projects, including wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy.

Our electricity system is vulnerable to extreme weather events, including coastal flooding, extreme heat, drought, and wildfires—all of which are likely to increase in the years ahead.

Michigan has vast renewable energy resources that could affordably and reliably provide a third of Michigan's electricity needs by 2030.

Methane leaks from natural gas drilling sites and pipelines. These fugitive methane emissions are 34 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat.

A comprehensive overview of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's work on nuclear power safety—both good and bad—in 2013.

Natural gas is not a long-term solution to climate change. A natural gas-dominated electricity system would continue to heat up the planet.

At a basic level, nuclear power is the practice of splitting atoms to boil water, turn turbines, and generate electricity.
