The United States currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar energy, are constantly replenished and will never run out.

We know that renewable energy technologies can help contribute to a clean and secure energy future for our communities, our nation, and the world. But what does it mean to you?

As a homeowner – By using renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies in your home, you’ll help the environment and typically save money in the long run. Generous Federal tax credits are available to homeowners who install solar energy systems and energy efficient appliances. There are a number of renewable energy technologies that you can use in your home. Some are best incorporated in new homes when they are built. Others can easily be added to existing homes.

As a business owner – You can reduce your utility bills and impact on the environment by using renewable energy and energy efficient technologies. “Going green” is a wonderful way for your business to attract new customers and generate positive press. A solar energy producing system not only creates an attractive “green” image for your company, but combined with generous Federal tax credits and reduced energy bills, is the smartest business investment available today. Quick payback times and free energy for the life of your system.

As a farmer or rancher – Not only can you save money using energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies, but there are also agribusiness opportunities in renewable energy.
