A Clean Energy Blueprint

摘要

In October, the Union of Concerned Scientists along with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy and the Tellus Institute published A Clean Energy Blueprint: A Smarter National Energy Policy for Today and the Future, a comprehensive report that critically analyzes such key energy issues as: Can America develop a balanced portfolio of clean energy solutions that will stop wasting energy and also develop diverse, domestic energy supplies to increase energy security? Can America develop an energy system that will save consumers money, provide security and jobs, and leave a heritage of clean air, clean water, and pristine wilderness? Can the United States restore international good will and credibility by reducing carbon dioxide emissions that threaten to destabilize the global climate?
