Renewable Energy Can Replace Nuclear Plants

If the Indian Point Energy nuclear plant in NY state isn't relicensed in 2015, it could be replaced with a wide range of renewable energy options available today.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, alone could meet the region's energy demand. And there is additional capacity available through new transmission projects and by making existing natural gas power plants much more efficient.

Renewable energy sector still a bright spot, says DoE

MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Energy said renewable energy remained an attractive investment destination in the country, as it vowed to push for the massive use of these resources to ensure national energy security.

Energy Secretary Jose Rene D. Almendras, however, admitted there was a need to pace the installation of renewable energy facilities, explaining that “each technology has its inherent economic and technical characteristics and must be applied to specific local realities.”
