Renewable energy report shows progress but overall weak prospects for U.S.

Despite the rosy captions in the “Renewables 2014 Global Status Report” the actual data about renewable energy in the U.S. is quite bleak. It was easy for me to conclude from this report that the U.S. is actually headed toward a nuclear energy future. This is not because nuclear is so superior to renewables but rather that we’ve squandered up our other options to build renewable energy.
