We asked eight experts if the global mobilization to slow the pandemic might pave the way for climate action.
Jason Bordoff, a former energy policy advisor to President Obama, thinks there may be some opportunities coming out of the pandemic to reroute major industries toward lower emissions. For instance, he said, if the federal government ends up owning a significant stake in airlines or automakers, it might be possible to compel those companies to build less-polluting products.
“I live in New York City,” Bordoff said. “I think a lot more people will want to take personal cars if they have them, or even Ubers, before they get back in the subway again. “When economies are struggling and people are struggling, environmental ambition in government policy wanes,” he added.With the science surrounding the novel coronavirus changing by the day — and death tolls continuing to rise around the world — it’s hard to predict anything with certainty, including how the virus might affect national commitments to reducing emissions.— and that propping up the oil and gas sector would be foolish.
You obviously don't understand. It's all energy.
Climate cultists just need to stop.
How does oil being free make other non free sources of energy preferable. Don’t say jobs because we could dump subsidies into oil if we wanted to save or create jobs
America will lead the world out of the economic freeze purely by the stock market and foriegn trade. But the intial bump is not a vaxine but people confidence to trade. So its going to be a massive sales pitch from guess who?
