Progress in technology needed for 25% renewable energy use

Dramatic progress in renewable energy technology is needed if the United States desires to produce 25 percent of its electricity and motor vehicle fuel from renewable sources by 2025 without significantly increasing consumer costs, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today.

The study finds that biomass resources and wind power have the greatest potential to contribute toward reaching the 25 x ‘25 goal.
