Renewable Energy Adoption and Its Effect on Rural Development in United States

Charles J. Moore · 2024 · Journal of Developing Country Studies

Summary. Renewable energy projects like wind and solar farms in rural United States communities create jobs, increase local tax revenues, and diversify economies. Landowners earn additional income by leasing land for energy production. The study recommends using diffusion of innovations theory and technology acceptance models to guide future research, and calls for stronger policy frameworks and practical interventions to expand renewable energy adoption in rural areas.
