Researchers from a trio of universities, including the University of Utah, explored renewable energy standards across 30...:
SALT LAKE CITY — New research says states that take the lead on embracing renewable energy investments help drive down costs on the technology, ultimately passing those savings on to energy consumers. States, the study found, that have strict renewable energy standards foster greater expansion of wind development and solar power by utility companies. "Strong laws work really well and weak laws don't," said Lincoln Davies, a University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law professor.
