Climate change presents the United States, and the world, with
regulatory problems of a magnitude, complexity, and scope unseen
before. The United States, however, particularly after the mid-term
elections of 2010, lacks the political will necessary to
aggressively address climate change. Most current books focus on
climate change. Ending Dirty Energy Policy argues that the country
will not adequately address climate change until we transform our
fossil fuel energy policy. Yet there are signs that the country
will support the transformation of our country's century-old energy
policy from one that is dependent on fossil fuels to a low-carbon
energy portfolio. A transformative energy policy that favors energy
efficiency and renewable resources can occur only after we have
abandoned the traditional fossil fuel energy policy, have
redesigned regulatory systems to open new markets and promoted
competition among new energy providers, and have stimulated
private-sector commercial and venture capital investment in energy
innovations that can be brought to commercial scale and
marketability.
