Description (excerpt):
“The principles of the Green Real Deal are designed to foster a broad coalition and turn climate ambitions into meaningful action,” said Ernest Moniz, former Secretary of Energy, now CEO of the Energy Futures Initiative. “The Green New Deal, a congressional resolution,… while it has helped shine an important spotlight on the climate crisis, elements of the resolution—such as going to zero carbon in a 10-year time frame—are largely impractical…. The principles of the Green Real Deal are designed to foster a broad coalition and turn climate ambitions into meaningful actions.”
OurEnergyPolicy’s community of energy professionals discussed Dr. Moniz’s Green Real Deal, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses, and emphasizing the importance of decarbonizing all energy sectors, building broad and inclusive coalitions, incorporating social equity, and taking the best approach for innovation. This document features detailed excerpts from that discussion (bold added for emphasis). Read the entire discussion at https://www.ourenergypolicy.org/a-framework-for-the-green-real-deal.
