Renewable Energy Capacity Growing

According to a report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), renewable energy projects — including solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass — made up almost half (46%) of all new power generation installations in the U.S. in the first 10 months of 2012.

Renewable energy generating capacity is now up to 15% of the total installed operating generating capacity in the United States.
