The pricing volatility of fossil fuels, along with the difficulty of forecasting fossil fuel prices, puts energy customers and providers at risk from fluctuating energy rates. As an alternative, this paper explores the potential for renewable energy to serve as a financial "hedge", reducing exposure to fuel price risk. Renewable energy generation brings with it the price stability benefits of free-fuel generation from emerging technologies such as solar, wind, small hydro, and geothermal sources. Renewable energy costs tend to be stable or decreasing over time, compared to rising or fluctuating costs for fossil fuel. With certain factors in place, it has been demonstrated that renewable energy can be effectively priced at or below the cost of conventional sources. 606 $aRenewable energy sources$xEconomic aspects$zNorth America 606 $aElectric power$xPrice policy$zNorth America 606 $aEnergy policy$zNorth America 606 $a........$2Iptcnc 615 0$aRenewable energy sources$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aElectric power$xPrice policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 7$a......... 676 $a333.79/4/097 700 $aLieberman$b Dan$01815921 701 $aDoherty$b Siobhan$01815922 712 02$aCommission for Environmental Cooperation (Montre?al, Que?bec) 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bVaAlCD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910714504303321 996 $aRenewable energy as a hedge against fuel price fluctuation$94371543 997 $aUNINA
