renewable energy

There’s a whole bunch of energy right below people’s feet in many Western states. And it doesn’t release any pollution into the air. But only a small fraction of it is being used for electricity. That could change, however, as the geothermal industry looks to expand.

A new report shows U.S. companies and consumers are spending more than ever on clean energy, such as solar, wind, and electric vehicles. And a lot of clean investment is happening in the Mountain West.

A new report shows the nation’s solar workforce grew 6% to nearly 280,000 jobs last year, which is a record high. And a lot of that growth was led by the West.

More than 10 million U.S. homes sit within three miles of a solar farm. A new national survey looks into how people feel about having these large renewable energy projects as their neighbors.

A new report shows wind and solar power account for more of America’s energy than ever before. Some states in the Mountain West are helping lead the charge.

Many Americans are trying to lower their energy bill – and carbon footprint– by turning to rooftop solar panels. A new report shows where in the U.S. it makes the most financial sense to go solar.

Nationwide, nearly 17,000 homes on tribal lands didn’t have electricity in 2022, according to federal data. The Biden administration is making new investments to address the issue.

A new study looks into how fossil fuels and renewable energy fund local government services in several states, including some in the Mountain West.

New data shows parts of the Mountain West region have some of America’s highest rates of electric vehicle use – and some of the lowest.

Studies show the nation’s aging power grid isn’t ready to handle the energy shift from fossil fuels to renewables. The federal government hopes a historic investment will fix that for states and tribes in the Mountain West and beyond.
