What is it about?
We demonstrate a robust method to assess the interannual variability of the wind and solar resource over the U.S. We then use climate model data to estimate how that resource is likely to change under a changing climate. We find that wind and solar will be within about 10% of their present value, but regional and seasonal changes are expected.

Why is it important?
As we are siting wind and solar plants, we should considered expected changes under climate change conditions.
