The growth of renewable energy has been largely due to reduction in technology costs. However, in order to reach a secure, sustainable, and economically feasible energy system, global governments must implement policies to encourage and support renewable energy sources. Investment into renewables and a market design to reliably integrate renewables into modern infrastructure is necessary for successful implementation. Using clean energy technologies along with energy efficiency solutions will be key to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions through technological means.
