   Note that a425couple's stats only apply to Wind and New England.   
   Ignoring the facte there are  other sources of renewable energy, and   
   other locations (such as Germany) derive more of their electricity from   
   renewable sources.   
      
   We are just getting started with renewables in the US, and tRump recently   
   shut down a nearly complete project that would a significantly larger   
   percentage in electricy from wind power for New England   
      
   ===========   
   (WFSB) - The Revolution Wind project has been issued a stop-work order by   
   the Trump administration.   
      
   Revolution Wind was a subsidiary of Orsted, who released a statement on   
   the matter.   
      
   They said that the project was 80% complete with all offshore foundations   
   installed and 45 out of 65 wind turbines installed.   
      
   The order was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of   
   Ocean Energy Management.   
      
   “This political move by the Trump administration will drive up the cost   
   of electricity bills and contradicts everything the administration has   
   told us. It wastes years of state investment in renewable energy designed   
   to diversify our energy supply and lower costs for families and   
   businesses. The project, which was on track to be completed early next   
   year, would have powered more than 350,000 homes across Connecticut and   
   Rhode Island while creating good-paying, clean energy jobs. All of that   
   is now at risk. We are working closely with Rhode Island to save this   
   project because it represents exactly the kind of investment that reduces   
   energy costs, strengthens regional production, and builds a more secure   
   energy future – the very goals President Trump claims to support but   
   undermines with this decision.”
