The Green New Deal has sparked a timely impassioned national conversation on the imperative of addressing climate-change risks to our economy, environment and security and the associated needs of disadvantaged communities.
The price tag for inaction promises to get much higher and the transformation to a low-carbon energy will inevitably stretch to mid-century and beyond. Those who can least afford it — the poorest Americans and the world's developing countries — will be economically hit worst and first, and continue to pay the steepest price unless the rate of investment and innovation is accelerated and extended into all parts of our country.
So what are the features of a Green Real Deal? Increased energy efficiency across all economic sectors, a very low-carbon electricity system, and the electrification of buildings, transportation and industry to the extent that is practical are key. All of this is happening and the pace must be quickened through policy and markets.
These are just examples to indicate that outcomes derived from innovation are a much better bet than prescriptions based on someone's preferred technologies. For electricity, this means looking hard at advanced nuclear technologies and the capture, storage, and use of carbon dioxide, as well as renewables. Indeed, this might eventually include direct carbon removal from the air, a prohibitively expensive proposition today in its very early stages of R&D.
Do as I say not as I do! the ones telling every one else to cut back et... like Obama GORE AOC SenSanders and Hollywood liberals r the biggest abusers!!! they burn more carbon in day jetting around world than most burn in a year!!!
Obama climate alarmists trying to sound somewhat reasonable. But hey the world is ending in 10 years anyway or so they tell us.
Technology for energyless energy is not here yet. We are extremely lucky to have all this organic carbon energy to tide us over until the next breakthrough. Those who want additional money for infrastructure should be tickled green we have cheap energy to build it.
no wind blow no tv, who will watch CNBC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come, pay for the rebuilding of my house first.
Which is impossible
