“In its forward-looking report for the year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts renewable energy will be the fastest-growing power source through 2040,” writes Scientific American .

“New investments in renewable energy rose from $9 billion in the first quarter of 2004 to $50 billion for 2015’s first quarter…and the volume of installed photovoltaic systems in the United States has grown every year since 2000.”

“The story that renewable energy advocates often share of how their favorite power sources have grown so rapidly over recent years belies the reality that those industries have expanded from small market shares to start. Yet with increasing interest, investors are targeting renewables as strong assets, not dodgy options.”
