The story of American energy is one of innovation. And today, we\u2019re in the middle of a true revolution that the 118th Congress has an opportunity to capitalize on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
America has reduced its total carbon dioxide emissions by more than any country in the last 20 years. And it’s largely due to American innovations in the power sector \u2014 where the U.S. is producing higher performing, lower emissions technologies to regenerate the world. That doesn\u2019t mean we should slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By 2030, the industrial sector will be the largest emitting sector of our economy. This means many of the same types of technology breakthroughs we\u2019ve seen in advanced nuclear and energy storage will be needed in the various pathways<\/a> that could tackle industrial sector emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, if we don\u2019t get our public policy right, these technologies will be built in China or Russia instead of at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rest of the world\u2019s population is growing faster than ours, which has led to more power and industrial activity, and more emissions as they buy higher emitting technology from China and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what if we didn\u2019t accept that? Of course, the world needs energy\u2026 but what if it were all clean? And why can\u2019t America be the leader?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
