Solar Power Panels and Production Will be Impacted the Most in California, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada
The Recent 30 Percent Increase to Solar Panel Imports Puts Clean Energy Jobs In Jeopardy The Trump Administration recently announced a 30 percent increase to solar panel imports, as well as approving multiple areas on the coastal region for offshore drilling. Americans from coast-to-coast are sick of one-sided news. It appears the main goal is to create sustainable, long-term jobs that will provide them with a healthy life. Take a look at some of the data that has been reported regarding jobs in connection with the recent tariff increase, as well as plans for offshore drilling. In 2018, it is
Renewable Energy and Solar Panel Production Limited by Regulations Drafted by the Trump Administration
The Trump Administration has Avoided Putting Tariffs on the Fossil Fuel Industry On Monday, the Trump Administration has opted to place tariffs on imports for solar panels and washing machines. This new tax would be a 30 percent increase on costs for solar panels coming into the United States. This move was extremely selective and damaging to the renewable energy sector. If he wanted to place tariffs on fossil fuels, as well as renewable energy, I wouldn't have as much as a problem with the administration's decision. That being said, it appears he is playing favoritism to the oil and
Fracking Oil Spill Releases 6,000 Gallons of Oil in Waterbury, Connecticut
Mainland Drilling with Fracking and Offshore Drilling Shows Additional Signs of Unsafe Conditions On Saturday, January 20 the city of Waterbury, Connecticut experienced an oil leak due to a valve malfunction. This incident clearly shows a reoccurring health and environmental problem with drilling for fossil fuel. In this case the oil has leaked out into the Naugatuck River. NBC Connecticut spoke with DEEP Emergency Response Unit Supervisor Jeff Chandler and reported: "There will be a large portion of the oil that has already moved downstream that we’re not going to be able to collect once it gets to the point where
Oil Spill Off the Coast of China Raises Concern About the Use of Fossil Fuel
An Iranian Cargo Ship Carrying 136,000 Tons of Oil has Sunk to the Ocean Floor Off the Coast of China An Iranian cargo ship was recently hit by a Hong Kong-registered cargo ship that caused an oil spill.

Florida Is Dropped from the Offshore Drilling Plan and Other Coastal States Become Outraged
The Trump Administration May Win Votes In Florida, But the GOP Overall May Lose Votes In South Carolina, California, Maryland and Massachusetts with Offshore Drilling Plans The Trump Administration has removed Florida from the states that is projected to allow offshore drilling. After that decision was made, a large backlash of coastal states all over the country inquired why only Florida was removed. This sparks an even deeper environmental debate on the safety of offshore drilling. If it is safe off the coast of South Carolina, why is it not safe in Florida. Senators in 12 different states are seeking
Bill Gates Provides Insight on Renewable Energy with an Interview from Nancy Gibbs

Tesla Motors Creates a New Online Map for Charging Stations in the United States
A Trip from Denver to Chicago Can Save Consumers Over $130 on Expenses Tesla Motors has just released an exciting new online platform that collects data from two locations, and provides users a map with charging stations. This map by Tesla also calculates the total cost of gas, and displays the amount each person will save by driving a Tesla vehicle. The website does note: 'Routing, charge times and mileage are based on the vehicle and battery of choice and assumes that trips begin with a full charge. Assumptions are also made for factors like weather, climate control and driving
A New Oregon Law Lifts the Regulations on Pumping Gas at Fueling Stations
Electric Cars Are Taking Over the Roadways, But People Still Want to Debate If A State Law Should Force Consumers to Pump their Own Gas Twenty eighteen has begun with a debate in Oregon and New Jersey that has many people in the United States clinging onto laws that force consumers to have someone pump their gas for them at fueling stations. First, our country should be far more focused on outlawing gasoline-based engines, and forcing people to use renewable energy to fuel their cars. In other developed countries, they are moving away from vehicles that cause pollution at a
The Impacts Renewable Energy Will have on Climate Change in 2018
Ireland, China, Mongolia, Chile and Countries Around the World Aim to Capture New Forms of Renewable Energy in 2018 The race to renewable energy is by far the most important race of our lifetime. China is currently taking the lead in the road to renewable energy with mass amounts of resources being pumped behind their clean energy products. In 2015 China increased their solar power capacity by 74%. Also in 2015, China invested $111 billon in clean power. It plans to increase this to $361 billon by 2020. These increases in clean energy are a clear sign that China is
