The Washington Post is reporting that the Trump administration is going
to recommend a 72 percent reduction in the development of renewable
energy sources.

I think that's wrong to do. Renewables have a long ways to go before
they can generate the majority of the USA's energy needs but to
significantly cut back on their development is not a good idea, IMO.

The Union of Concerned Scientists reports that by 2050 renewable sources
could potentially supply 80 percent of our electrical energy needs.
That may be a little optimistic but it's heading in the right direction.

Unfortunately, the renewable sources that get the most attention are
solar and wind. Both rank low in the energy production of all the
renewable sources.
