What counts as clean energy?

Clean energy covers technologies with low lifecycle emissions: solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, and enabling tools like energy storage and smart grids. Efficiency—doing more with less—amplifies their impact.

  • Renewable resources that naturally replenish
  • Low air pollution and water use with proper siting
  • Increasingly the least‑cost new electricity in many regions

Pro tip: pair variable renewables with storage and demand response to keep the grid reliable.

Key Technologies

Solar Photovoltaics

Panels convert sunlight directly into electricity. Rooftop systems empower households; large solar farms serve cities.

☀️ Daytime

Onshore & Offshore Wind

Turbines harvest kinetic energy from the wind. Offshore winds are steadier, boosting output with minimal land use.

🌬️ Variable

Hydropower

Flowing water turns turbines. Modern designs and careful siting reduce ecological impacts while providing flexibility.

💧 Dispatchable

Geothermal

Heat from the Earth powers turbines or warms buildings. It’s steady baseload power with a small land footprint.

🌋 Baseload

Nuclear (Low‑carbon)

Fission generates large volumes of low‑carbon electricity. Emerging designs aim to enhance safety and flexibility.

⚛️ Baseload

Energy Storage

Batteries, pumped hydro, and thermal storage shift energy from when it’s made to when it’s needed, balancing the grid.

🔋 Grid balancing

Smart Grids

Digital controls coordinate supply and demand in real time, improving reliability and enabling electric vehicles.

🧠 Intelligent

Efficiency

The cleanest energy is the energy we don’t use. LEDs, insulation, and efficient motors cut costs and emissions.

💡 First fuel

Why it matters

Clean energy reduces greenhouse gases, improves air quality, creates jobs, and strengthens energy independence. With smart planning, communities can benefit from lower bills and healthier environments.

  • Lower emissions: Replace fossil fuels in power, transport, and buildings.
  • Healthier air: Less particulate matter and NOx/SOx.
  • Resilience: Distributed energy and storage keep the lights on.
  • Economic growth: New industries and high‑skilled jobs.

Getting started at home

  1. Switch to LED lighting and smart thermostats.
  2. Consider rooftop solar or join a community solar program.
  3. Drive electric or use public transit where possible.
  4. Choose a green electricity plan from your utility, if available.

Tip: Start with a home energy audit to find the biggest savings.

Transition Roadmap

2025–2027 · Scale deployment

Accelerate solar and wind build‑out, upgrade grids, and retire the most polluting plants first.

2028–2030 · Electrify demand

Ramp EVs and heat pumps, expand storage, and integrate flexible demand at scale.

2031–2035 · Deep decarbonization

Clean industrial heat, green hydrogen where needed, and negative emissions for hard‑to‑abate sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is clean energy reliable?

Yes. A mix of generation, storage, and demand flexibility keeps the grid balanced. Weather‑driven resources are forecastable, and interconnecting regions reduces variability.

Is it affordable?

Utility‑scale solar and wind are among the lowest‑cost new power sources in many markets. Up‑front costs are falling, and operating costs are low.

What about land use and wildlife?

Good siting and modern practices minimize impacts. Rooftops, brownfields, and dual‑use designs (like agrivoltaics) can reduce land conflicts.
