A measure that would have increased wind and solar power use to 15% by 2020 failed to pass the U.S. Senate. Apparently, utility companies may have been behind the lobbying effort to delay use of clean energy options.
Clean energy options continue to be more expensive than fossil based energy. Encouraging the implementation of renewable energy options could help decrease costs in the long run. By defeating this mandate, dependency on fossil fuels is extended and the future of renewable energy delayed - for now.
