A group of governors from both ends of the political spectrum are urging President Donald Trump to support renewable energy, saying the wind and solar industries are crucial economic engines for impoverished rural regions.

The group is also calling for legislation to promote offshore wind farms and efforts to streamline the permitting process for wind and solar projects.
