Increasing Energy Independence

From the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy:

Happy Independence Day from EERE! Utility-scale wind farms like this one pictured in #Colorado are increasing America’s #energy independence and setting an example for the rest of the world. The #US is now the world’s top producer of wind energy with enough generating capacity to power more than 18 million homes. Since 1980, the Energy Department has helped reduce the cost of wind energy by more than 94% in some areas of the country. Learn about the research we are funding to keep costs falling, so more Americans can be independent when it comes to choosing their preferred energy choice such as wind energy: http://go.usa.gov/3w99Q.
