The country has greater renewable energy potential than the Clean Power Plan demands
Summary
Friends of the Earth states that the United States and the world must rapidly transition to clean renewables, such as wind and solar, to avoid severe climate disruption and prevent long-term dependence on fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.
Key insights
- To avoid the worst impacts of climate disruption, the United States and the rest of the world need a rapid and coordinated shift toward an energy system based on clean renewables, which involves investing in infrastructure and technologies such as solar and wind.
- Ongoing reliance on fossil fuels, specifically coal and natural gas, will lead to further infrastructure investment that locks in dependence on these fuels for several decades.
