Gov. Jon Huntsman wants Utah to become the "premier destination in America for renewable energy." He made the announcement in last night's State of the State address.
It's ambitious and may be a tall order, in part because other states are also aggressively pursuing the same goal.
California is a leader, and Texas is rapidly expanding investment in wind. Rust Belt states like Michigan and Ohio want to lure wind turbine and solar panel factories, and Colorado is jumping on this as well. Meanwhile, Wyoming is building new wind farms, while Arizona is going for more solar.
But a new report identifying the zones with the best potential for harnessing wind, geothermal and solar energy in the state shows Utah has potential. In fact, we have some of the nation's best renewable potential for geothermal and solar energy. [Click here to read the UREZ Phase 1 report]
