Promote the development of clean, renewable, and environmentally-friendly energy sources to continue moving away from fossil fuels. Currently, the U.S. derives 85 percent of its energy from fossil fuels compared to the 7 percent acquired from renewable sources (The National Academies, 2008). Converting to sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal will produce electricity without carbon emissions; not only will these sources be both reliable and renewable, they will helped make the transition to electric transportation smoother because these technologies can be adapted depending on a region's available resources.
