US Headed for Record Number of Clean Energy Patents

A recent study shows that the US is on pace to receive a record number of clean energy patents in 2015 after eight consecutive yearly increases dating back to 2007. So far, solar technology has dominated, with 586 patents granted in the first half of the year alone. This trend is likely to continue and perhaps even increase now that 20 of the world's leading economics have pledged unprecedented amounts of money towards basic R&D in clean energy technology during the Paris climate talks.
