Americans have made a habit out of making even the most universal issues politically polarized. The serious weather risks we’ve faced recently are no exception. But is our warming climate really a political issue that divides Americans? The reality is it should be a powerful opportunity to modernize our infrastructure, create permanent new jobs here at home, and build entire new industries of the future. This is an economics issue, not a political one… We need to keep the lights on and address the economic consequences of climate change. Knowing we’re not in a position to get rid of fossil energy any time soon, the focus should be on: (1) using the lowest-carbon intensity, lowest-cost energy sources available, and (2) limiting, or otherwise removing, the greenhouse gas emissions associated with them.
