"The study is yet another confirmation that the demand for renewable energy is growing rapidly and like any market there may be temporary imbalances in the industries' abilities to respond to a specific technology," said Mike Eckhart, ACORE President.
Eckhart continued: "For some 30 years, while the technologies were in development, detractors complained that the American people would not buy renewable energy. Now, demand is outstripping supply. Our detractors have been proven wrong. The American people want renewable energy, in fact, as much as our industries can produce. It's a great day to be in renewable energy. Our day has come."
ACORE submits that consumers and businesses can be assured that whether it's wind, solar, biofuels, wave/current, geothermal and other renewable sources of energy that all of these industries are moving quickly and to meet demand. And they can look forward to the positive impacts renewable energy is beginning to have on our climate, environment, local and regional economies, and the nation's energy security.
