Abstract
The future of power generation in the US is at an interesting cross-road; on
the one hand, cheap generation technologies such as coal and natural gas fired
plants are well positioned to dominate future power generation if the current
legislative and regulatory environments persists. On the other hand, the
increasing public and political concern about climate change has made it
likely that legislative changes that usher in some form of price on carbon
emission is imminent. In addition, the US is taking the lead in establishing
RPS measures to encourage wider use of greener power. ‘Green Energy in
the US: Renewable investment, capacity growth and future outlook’ is a
new report published by Business Insights that assesses the outlook for
renewable energy in the US and analyzes each of the key renewable
technologies. This new report examines the current market, assesses the key
drivers and resistors and forecasts future potential growth areas. Assess the
future prospects and investment potential for renewable technologies in the US
with this new report.
