The country has greater renewable energy potential than the Clean Power Plan demands
Summary
The text asserts that the United States possesses renewable energy potential exceeding the requirements of the Clean Power Plan and advocates for a coordinated shift toward wind and solar technologies to prevent long-term dependence on fossil fuels.
Key insights
- The United States and other nations need to transition quickly to an energy system based on clean renewables to prevent the most severe effects of climate disruption, necessitating investment in technologies like wind and solar and their associated infrastructure.
- Ongoing reliance on coal and natural gas will lead to further infrastructure investment, which will lock in dependence on these fossil fuels for several decades.
- The renewable energy potential of the United States is greater than what is demanded by the Clean Power Plan.
