Danny Cullenward, an energy economist at Stanford University, said the proposed budget is an attack on the integrity of both U.S. environmental protection and the nation's
leadership in energy innovation.
To suggest that we can stabilize concentrations without significant
advances in energy innovation is not just misleading, it is based on a demonstrably flawed analysis.You can see data on the slowing decarbonization of the global economy (and indeed we have moved to re-carbonization) here.
Imagine if the full energy budget appropriations process was about debating targeted investments
in energy innovation?
President Donald Trump outlined a fiscal 2018 budget request that asks Congress to stamp out federal climate science and slash investment in energy innovation
Three keys to a true, all - of - the - above energy policy: increasing access to U.S. energy reserves, implementing sound regulatory policies and creating an environment that fosters investment
in energy innovation and development.
Federal investment
in energy innovation is in line with America's great tradition of technological achievement, and it can finally tackle our fossil fuel addiction, accelerate the transition to energy independence, and boost our economic competitiveness, all in one bold step.
