US power generation companies fast transitioning to clean energy, says Edison Electric Institute

摘要

Private investor energy producer companies are leading the way toward reducing carbon emissions and in clean energy transformation, according to Becky Knox of the Edison Electric Institute (EEIs), the trade association that represent investor-owned electric companies. Its members, she says, is playing its part to help accelerate electric transportation in the United States. More than a third of US power generation today is already coming from carbon-free resources, Knox stated-this includes nuclear, hydro-electric and nonhydro-electric renewables (such as solar and wind). The chart below shows this change from a decade ago from a heavily carbon-based energy production to a more carbon emissions-free mix.
