We hear that from the oil and gas industry, power companies, and our friends in agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge of global emissions is pretty well understood. But to complicate it, the U.S. will need to double our grid\u2019s capacity by 2050. If the U.S. is going to do that, while ensuring the grid remains reliable and clean, and prices remain affordable, we\u2019re talking about adding more than 20,000 clean energy projects to the grid over the next 27 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We cannot damage our economy in our efforts, especially during this time of high inflation and instability worldwide. We must pursue a market-driven agenda that makes clean energy more affordable rather than making existing energy sources more expensive or putting them off-limits. There are exciting solutions such as carbon capture technology, zero-emissions nuclear energy, and renewable sources like hydropower and geothermal that protect America\u2019s workforce and, most importantly, make energy affordable, reliable, secure, and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Click&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2023\/sep\/26\/everyones-talking-climate-lets-talk-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>&nbsp;to read the full article<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This op-ed was originally published by The Washington Times on September 26, 2023.
