Florida's Renewable Energy

With an energy bill under consideration in the U.S. Congress, the subject of renewable energy sources gets new attention: power from solar energy, wind, geothermal -- even from agricultural byproducts. A group of indpendent scientists is pushing for more U.S. electric power to come from these sources, saying the cost is at an all time low. Deborah Donovan is with the Union of Concerned Scientists...

A group called the Union of Concerned Scientists is pushing for a new U.S. Energy Policy that would require a shift away from fossil fuels for producing electricity, toward renewable energy sources. Deborah Donovan is director of research for the group's Clean Energy Project...

As the U.S. Congress considers a national energy policy, one measure might require a shift in electric power production from fossil fuels to reneweable energy sources. And while those sources have long been though to be too expensive, a group called the Union of Concerned Scientists says cost is no longer the issue...

A group of indpendent scientists is supporting a change to the nation's energy policy that would require more electricity production to come from renewable sources, such as solar, geothermal or wind. Deborah Donovan is with the Union of Concerned Scientists...

During the oil embargo of the 1970s, there was great talk about renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power, but little changed because the technology was so expensive. Now, an indpendent group of scientists says the time and price is right. Deborah Donovan is with the Union of Concerned Scientists
