The government has passed a new decree that overrides much of the regulations in the United States to fight climate change. The reactions have not been expected and several sectors linked to energy and the environment has raised their voices against an executive order that, among other measures, intends to review the Clean Power Plan of Obama and cut a third of the budget of the Environmental Protection Agency. When it comes to the Reliant Energy use then you can see US and the way they have been doing the work all along. The path may not have been quite easy, but the whole process yielded highly positive results. This is why you can expect the best from that process now.
One of the first rejections comes from a big business company, a coalition of companies that firmly believes that the transition to a low-carbon economy is the only way to ensure a prosperous and sustainable development. CEO of the platform has stated that executive order undermines policies that, until now, stimulated economic competitiveness, job creation, investment and infrastructure and public health.
Many American companies have set ambitious targets for energy efficiency and renewable energy use, and the Obama Clean Energy Plan provides them with a platform that ensures reliable and durable clean energy resources and, in turn, generates substantial benefits for the economy and the economy.
Just 18 months ago, the Federal Government estimated that the benefits of the Clean Energy Plan could reach between 26 and 45 billion dollars, with an energy saving of around 155 billion dollars between 2020 and 2030. In addition, the Plan regularly grants economic aid for the clean energy economy, aids that in 2016 alone supported more than 3 million jobs in the United States, according to a report by the Department of Energy and Employment.
The legacy of the Clean Energy Plan
In similar terms, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, an organization that works to promote programs, policies, technologies and investments in energy efficiency, has responded. The general director of this Policy, believes that the Clean Energy Plan has marked the road map for many states to establish energy efficiency measures that have not only reduced greenhouse emissions but have contributed to other achievements how to reduce the energy bill of households, create employment, protect public health and improve the resilience of homes and infrastructure.
Although the new decree is a step back, the Clean Energy Plan has left such a lasting legacy that it is the state and local governments that have to decide whether they want to continue advancing in energy efficiency for the benefit of citizens, the economy and the environment.
- The European Improvement project will be developed within the Interreg SUDOE program starting in October, will create buildings with almost zero energy consumption through the integration of renewable energies and improved energy efficiency. Improvement develops micro-networks of combined generation of cold, heat and electricity to improve energy efficiency.
The project is led by the National Hydrogen Center, and the Ministry of Finance, Industry and Energy of the Junta de Andalucía will participate, through the General Secretariat of Industry, Energy and Mines and the Energy Agency.
