- Authors
Pollin, Robert
- Abstract
The article discusses the plan regarding the fight against global warming and the promotion of economic prosperity in the U.S. The plan includes ending the dependence on fossil fuels and building a clean energy economy. The plan is estimated to generate millions of good jobs which include installing solar panels, weatherizing homes, brewing biofuels, building hybrid cars and erecting giant wind turbines. It mentions that the implementation of strong environmental standards entails serious economic sacrifices such as taxes or absolute limit on the burning of fossil fuels. Issues including lower carbon emissions and higher gas prices, nuclear, clean coal and energy rebates, and the promise of conservation and renewable energy are also discussed.
