That leaves four percent renewables as acceptable forms of power for the Administration. Some of that is geothermal about 5 percent of the 8 percent. Solar energy accounts for 1 percent of renewables and wind energy makes up a half a percent of renewables. The remainder is biomass. The EIA says it is wood, wood waste, wood liquor, pitch, peat, wood sludge, straw, municipal landfill gas, and fish oil.
Environmental goals are important.
But planning for them is equally important. Just being against power generation sources does not provide for the immense energy needs of this country. Looking only to foreign sources leaves us extremely vulnerable.
