Efforts continue to promote the idea of solar and other renewable energy investments.
Those efforts range from proposing the use of solar power projects on abandoned mine lands, including many in area counties, to touting projects to help rural small business owners and farmers make energy efficiency improvements, to promoting solar fields, as happened on a field trip to Pittsburgh’s Airport Corridor for some 30 Indiana Area High School students.

Declining costs and government encouragement have resulted in a rapid increase in solar energy production in the United States over the past 10 years, although solar’s share remains small: 1.6 percent of all electricity generation in 2018. That rapid growth is projected to continue.
