in 1908 and the last models rolled off the assembly line in 1927. The vehicle was a success everywhere in the world it was sold because it made owning a car affordable to the masses for the first time.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/506799.html (Natural News) Biden administration officials announced a plan to reduce the cost of solar energy by 60 percent within the next ten years. This goal, set by the
Department of Energy (DOE), aims to reduce the cost of utility-scale solar energy by 2025 and 2030. According to officials, the move was essential to achieving the 100 percent clean energy by 2035 objective set by President Joe Biden.
In a March 25 statement, the DOE said it would strive to reduce the cost of solar energy, currently at 4.6 cents per kilowatt-hour, to 3 cents by 2025 and 2 cents by 2030. It also announced new funding worth $128 million for solar energy – intended to lower its cost, improve its performance and expedite its deployment. Most of the funding would be allocated to research on thin-film solar and concentrating solar-thermal technologies.

The Biden administration has already made a big bet on offshore wind, elevating the technology among the suite of options that deserve strategic attention. This support recognizes its potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions, create good jobs, and drive investment in associated infrastructure, especially along the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Such a correction was long overdue: at year-end 2020, the United States accounted for just 0.1 percent of the world’s installed capacity for offshore wind (versus 17 percent for onshore wind). For years, projects had languished in a regulatory process that was too slow, leaving the United States far behind China and several European countries. This may finally be changing.
