About eUtah
Many believe that renewable energy-- resources such as solar, wind, and geothermal-- deserve a bigger piece of our state's energy pie. The question is: Just how much energy can they realistically contribute? What happens when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing?
HEAL Utah began the eUtah Project began in 2008 to methodically answer these questions by assessing the technical and economic feasibility of generating all of Utah's electricity through renewable energy sources.
We worked with Dr. Arjun Makhijani from the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) in Washington, D.C., who is the lead researcher on the project. The eUtah Study is modeled after Dr. Makhijani's landmark 2007 study, Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy, which lays out a 50-year plan for transitioning our country away from both nuclear and fossil fuels without impacting our standard of living.
