The director of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden says wind power is just one component that will be needed to transition to renewable energy.

President Biden recently visited the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, also known as NREL, in Golden. He spoke about the climate crisis. He emphasized that humans have caused climate change and said humans can solve the problem. Where do things stand on renewable energy technologies? Martin Keller is the director of NREL and president of the Alliance for Sustainable Energy. That’s the company that operates NREL for the U.S. Department of Energy.
