Most of the world’s governments continue to work toward a low-carbon future, making international pledges and enacting policies to encourage energy efficiency, reduce the use of coal, and employ renewable generation technologies.
Not the U.S. We are going in the opposite — and wrong — direction. We are promising to bring back coal industry jobs, cutting back on federal energy efficiency research and development, withdrawing from the Paris Climate agreement, and relaxing rules that would phase out high-global warming potential (GWP) gases.
