wind energy

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.

A new report shows the U.S. has created more than 170,000 clean energy jobs since Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. In the Mountain West, job creation by state is all over the map.

A new survey shows most Americans support shifting to renewable energy sources like wind and solar. But many people oppose completely ending the use of fossil fuels.

As U.S. markets and policies move away from fossil fuels and toward renewables like wind and solar, a new ranking of the nation’s "greenest" states has only three Mountain West states cracking the top 25.

The build-out of clean energy infrastructure in the West on its current trajectory would occupy about 39 million acres of land – roughly three-fourths the size of Utah – by 2050. A new study by The Nature Conservancy, however, suggests that the right mix of technologies can cut the amount of land needed in half.

In Las Vegas, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on Tuesday announced new efforts to facilitate more renewable energy development, including cutting by 50% rent and fees charged for wind and solar projects on public lands.
