Deploying Our Clean Energy Future - New Article

Eileen Claussen, in a new article, explores what's at stake in advancing a clean energy future.

The United States and the rest of the world face a momentous choice. It is a choice that will determine the nature of our economies and our climate for generations to come. One option is to continue down our current energy path—relying to a substantial degree on fuels and technologies that will result in ever-increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases(GHGs). The other option is to chart a new path—a path by which we protect the climate and rebuild our economies by developing and deploying clean energy technologies.

The choice is obvious: we must pursue a clean energy future.
