US States Green Energy Investment Prediction

Inspiration

Climate change is affecting all of us and we need to do something to help revert that. One very essential step is the transformation from tradition fossil based energy to renewable energy. So we are interested to know how each state is doing in terms of green energy investment.

What it does

We've built a Random Forest model to make prediction on total green energy investment by state.

How we built it

Using Random Forest

Challenges we ran into

Model selection, deal with categorical data

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a model with decent accuracy comparing with other models.

What we learned

data cleaning, hyperparameter tuning, one hot encoding, data visualization

What's next for US States Green Energy Investment Prediction

Continue monitoring green energy development.
