Administration to Face Electric Transmission Challenges

摘要

A key energy policy goal of President Barack Obama's administration is to double current levels of electric power production from renewable resources (such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal) so they would account for 10 percent of our electricity production by 2012 and 25 percent by 2025. Mandatory portfolio standards may be imposed to reach this objective, and one such bill is pending before the U.S. House of Representatives.
