  • At this point, it’s economically irresponsible not to transition to renewables, even from a conservative, market-focused perspective. Fossil fuel power plants require ongoing fuel purchases to operate. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar do not.

    Once installed, renewables generate electricity without the continuous cost of buying and burning fuel. That difference fundamentally changes the economics. When you factor in the long-term savings from not having to purchase a resource that must be consumed to produce power, the financial case for renewables becomes difficult to ignore.

    Renewables also have the potential to change how we think about energy forever. We’d never have to have a conservation mindset concerning energy use. Can you imagine what could be possible if you didn’t have to worry about the cost or ammonunt of energy you need to perform a task?
