Report says Utah, Northwest best poised to make change to clean energy

Utah is among seven regional states identified in a new analysis as the best-positioned area in the country to transition to clean energy within 40 years. The report was prepared for the nonpartisan Civil Society Institute by Synapse Energy Economics.

The analysis, released Wednesday, said Utah, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and much of Nevada have the technological capability and an extensive portfolio of renewable resources that make it easier for them to make a transition than it will be for the rest of the country.
