Energy is necessary for moving forward, for both society and individual communities.
These days, a shift to clean energy and renewable resources is critical to averting the oncoming climate catastrophe.

The loss of jobs has been a significant factor in local resistance to clean energy solutions.
However, the overall benefits of clean energy are hard to deny.

It will produce 402 MW once complete, and power 75,000 homes with much-needed energy.
The company is also considering storing excess energy offsite.
The DOE is specifically interested in replacing former mine land with clean energy such as solar and wind.
The new solar farm in Pennsylvania will bring over 750 jobs in construction over the next few years.
Much as coal was once important to local economies, renewable energy is also a growing field.
