Promoting Renewable Energy in Louisiana

Using renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and biofuels provides many benefits: 

Reduces our nation’s dependence on foreign sources of energy, keeping energy dollars at home

Stimulates the economy through new industries focused on renewable and efficient energy technologies

Stabilizes energy prices by diversifying energy sources (In 2005 ACEEE found that a modest 2-4% reduction in natural gas use could reduce natural gas prices 20% or more.)

Reduces negative health, safety, and environmental impacts of using fossil fuels and nuclear energy, such as the pollution causing global warming, acid rain, increased incidence of asthma, cancer, and mercury poisoning in children, and radioactive waste.
