For a report published by the oil industry’s leading trade group, the 2015 “State of American Energy” report sure gives a lot of attention to alternative fuel sources.
In fact, about 40 percent of the American Petroleum Institute’s 50-page report covers energy types as diverse as solar, wind, nuclear, geothermal, hydropower, and even biomass. Associations that represent each of these sectors, such as the Nuclear Energy Institute, the National Hydropower Association, and the Biomass Power Association, get a chance to make the case for their respective industries in the API report.
