Clean Energy, the Next Revolution!
The world is now in the early stages of an energy revolution that, over the next few decades, could be as momentous as the emergence of oil and electricity based economies a century ago. Technologies available today, and those expected to become competitive over the next decade, will permit a rapid decabonization of the global energy economy. New renewable energy technologies, combined with a broad suite of energy-efficiency advances, will allow global energy needs to be met without fossil fuels and by adding only minimally to the cost of energy services. The clean energy economy, still in its infancy, is emerging as a vital component of America's new economic landscape. Double-digit market growth, annual capital flows of more than $100 billion, sharp declines in technology costs, and rapid progress in the sophistication and effectiveness of government policies all herald a promising new energy era. That new energy era is the next revolution!
