The article focuses on the renewable sources of energy. Wind is the fastest-growing energy industry in the world, and last year was the best year of the industry in the U.S. with power capacity equivalent to that of roughly six coal-fired power plants coming online, minus coal's pollution. Another good news is that wind power and other renewables don't have to depend on federal leadership. Solar energy industry is experiencing the same growth rate. Most important, wind and solar power can now be efficiently stored by using them to create hydrogen, a fuel that generates only drinkable water as waste.
