The release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) due to human activity is increasing global average surface air temperatures, disrupting weather patterns, and acidifying the ocean.
Left unchecked, the continued growth of GHG emissions could cause global average temperatures to increase by another 4°C or more by 2100 and by 1.5 to 2 times as much in many midcontinent and far northern locations
Although our understanding of the impacts of climate change is increasingly and disturbingly clear, there is still debate about the proper course for U.S. policy—a debate that is very much on display during the current presidential transition. But putting near-term politics aside, the mounting economic and scientific evidence leave me confident that trends toward a clean-energy economy that have emerged during my presidency will continue and that the economic opportunity for our country to harness that trend will only grow.
This Policy Forum will focus on the four reasons I believe the trend toward clean energy is irreversible. The United States is showing that GHG mitigation need not conflict with economic growth. Rather, it can boost efficiency, productivity, and innovation.
PEP Solar states, “The industry currently employs 3.4 million people in the United States and sustains US Manufacturing jobs. There is enough light energy hitting the earth to power 44 Trillion homes. Solar is already competitive with most resources and it will be the king of energy transformation. Solar represents innovation, American jobs, manufacturing, national security, and a great way for our new President to add to his success.”
