Fighting climate change on a global scale will “obviously” require that fossil fuels stay in the ground, State Department climate change envoy Todd Stern said in Washington, D.C. on Monday.
According to the Guardian, Stern told a forum at the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank, that for the world to combat global warming necessitates “a solution that leaves a lot of fossil fuel assets in the ground. We are not going to get rid of fossil fuel overnight but we are not going to solve climate change on the basis of all the fossil fuels that are in the ground are going to have to come out. That’s pretty obvious.”
The newspaper described Stern’s statement as “the clearest sign to date the administration sees no long-range future for fossil fuel.” It comes a week ahead of United Nations climatenegotiations in Lima, Peru, and in the wake of this month’s announcement of a non-binding agreement between the U.S. and China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next 15 years.
To the United States of America, we need a National Residential and commercial Feed in Tariff.
A California Residential Feed in Tariff would allow homeowners to sell their Renewable Energy back to the utility, protecting our communities from grid failures, natural disasters, toxic natural gas and oil Fracking. It would also create a new revenue stream for the Hard Working Taxpaying, Voting, Homeowner.
No one is fighting for the Hard Working, Taxpaying, Voting, Homeowner, we can change that with a Ca. Residential Feed in Tariff Energy policy that allows everyone to participate. Homeowner’s, Small and Large Businesses, Small and Large farmers, and Industries, have the right to sell Renewable Energy electricity back to the utility.
California, there is enough Residential Solar to power 2.25 San Onofres, couple that with a Commercial Feed in Tariff and we can solve some of these environmental and electrical generating problems.
This petition will ask the California Regulators and Law makers to allocate Renewable Portfolio Standards to Ca. Home Owners for a Residential Feed in Tariff, the RPS is the allocation method that is used to set aside a certain percentage of electrical generation for Renewable Energy in the the State. The State of California has mandated that 33% of its Energy come from Renewable Energy by 2020.
