- There are many renewable energy resources available worldwide that can be harnessed to produce electricity.
- There are a broad range of renewable energy technologies that are commercially viable today, and available to take advantage of these worldwide resources. These include solar photovoltaic, wind, biomass, solar thermal, geothermal, tidal and wave energy and small hydroelectric generation technologies.
- Recent advances in wind energy technology have made this the lowest cost method for producing electricity today, and with a significantly lower impact on the environment than was possible as recently as ten years ago.
- The market for renewable energy is currently growing at double digit rates in several technology sectors
