We Need a Political Framework With Integrated Climate Change Solutions


Chip Comins

CEO, American Renewable Energy Institute

Regardless of our changing political landscape, large-scale investment in clean and renewable energy, aggressive emission reduction policies, and local and state initiatives must persist. A growing ‘resistance movement’ of climate leaders and entrepreneurs has grown into a rebellion — for renewing our pledge to a clean, healthy, and unpolluted world that will support the magnificent diversity of life on this planet we call home. 


Wise leaders have taken counsel in the warnings of science and Mother Nature’s protests expressed by more frequent, violent, and costly weather events, droughts, and floods. In a time when solar energy jobs exceed coal jobs and reducing emissions is no longer a choice but a necessity, renewable energy presents the greatest opportunity to provide environmental solutions and economic growth. America’s resilience, resourcefulness, pioneering and innovative spirit have once again taken up the challenge. 


The time is NOW for businesses, big and small, and communities worldwide to step up and reclaim responsibility for the well-being of our planet. From this activated grassroots resolve, a political framework with integrated climate change solutions will increasingly become the national agenda.
