Abstract:
Electric utilities, including North Carolina's electric cooperatives, are increasing their deployment of affordable, clean, renewable energy sources to generate electricity. Solar power is being used in some places, such as the home shopping retailer QVC distribution center near Rocky Mount, and a Duke Energy solar farm in Davidson County.

Abstract:
Wind is the second-largest source of renewable energy in the nation. In May 2011 the North Carolina Utilities Commission approved the Desert Wind Energy Project. If approved by other agencies (state, local, and federal) 150, 400-foot tall wind turbines will go up near Elizabeth City. This will produce enough electricity for up to 70,000 homes. Manuel discusses how this project could impact wildlife.

Abstract:
Duke Energy Corporation and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, hope to build three wind turbines set in twenty-foot-deep waters about seven to ten miles into Pamlico Sound west of the Outer Banks village of Avon. A study released in June reported that offshore wind development is capable of generating enough electricity to fulfill North Carolina’s total power needs.
