Respond to this post, After doing some research online and reading through our text, it seems as though wind power is the most promising alternative energy for the U.S. The reason for this is that wind power is the most efficient sustainable energy. However, the text states that "wind power's growth in the United States has been hap-hazard because Congress has not committed to a long-term tax credit for wind development, but instead has passed a series of short-term renewals, leaving the industry uncertain about how to invest" (Laposata, 2015). However, it does go on to say that experts believe that wind power will keep growing because the cost is so low. The drawbacks of wind power are that we have no control over how much wind is produced so it is not constant. It is also difficult to find sites that are ideal for the turbines which take up a lot of room and are loud. Out of all the options, wind power seems to be the most promising for our future
