The administration will walk this tightrope between climate and oil profits for as long as it can. It’s up to us to demand clean energy. Feel hopeless and think you are just one person and can’t effect change? This is how you do it. When America goes clean, Europe will do it by proxy. Then Asia and Russia will be with be forced to, or look like bad guys. Voting and demanding clean energy is how Americans can fight climate change.
Europe is far ahead of the US already for starters, so no the US will not be spurring them to action. Theyre already miles ahead.
Secondly, Russia does not care about ‘looking like the bad guy’ and Asia is a major continent with tons of different countries at tons of different development stages. Some are doing way better than the US, others worse.
You are correct. I was trying to paint with a broad brush to describe the need for America to spearhead renewables. America is such an economic powerhouse in terms of financial exports and consumer imports that the switch would spur others to adopt renewables. Europe is years ahead with renewables than America.
It would certainly improve the global market for them, agreed.
@fnf While many Americans may not be fully informed about the details of this legislation, it's important for policymakers to communicate the potential benefits and impact of climate programs effectively to ensure broader public support and engagement in addressing environmental challenges.
