Wind Energy
Wind energy is the fastest-growing source of power on the planet. With our tremendous wind resources, Louisiana can become a world leader in wind energy. Already, wind turbines in this country produce enough electricity to meet the needs of more than 1 million households. A single modern wind turbine can produce enough power to meet the annual electricity needs of 500 average homes.

Solar Power
The sun is the ultimate source of energy. All the energy stored in the earth's reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas is equal to the energy from only 20 days of sunshine.
With today's technologies, we can harness this energy to produce electricity. While some parts of the country are sunnier than others, most areas receive enough sunshine to make solar energy a powerful source of clean and affordable electricity. Thanks in part to successful research and development, the cost of solar technologies has plummeted in recent decades, approaching the cost of fossil fuels, and is likely to fall even further.

Coal Power
Coal-fired power plants are one of our nation's largest—and dirtiest—sources of energy. Although these plants already produce about half of our electricity, there are plans on the drawing board to build over 150 new plants in the next few years. With new laws to fight global warming expected on the horizon, the coal industry is in a rush to build as many new plants as possible before pollution safeguards are in place.

Nuclear Waste
At a time when its accumulation is accelerating and no plan for its permanent isolation has been developed anywhere in the world, nuclear waste is an unsolved problem.
