Comments on: What Would Our Climate Policy Look Like? http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2007/10/31/what-would-our-climate-policy-look-like/ Dispatches from the Youth Climate Movement Sun, 06 May 2012 08:12:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: lizveazey http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2007/10/31/what-would-our-climate-policy-look-like/#comment-55679 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:33:41 +0000 http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2007/10/31/how-would-our-climate-policy-look-like/#comment-55679 I think it’s really important to emphasize: “No Coal” not “no new coal plants until they can safely dispose of climate pollution” disposing of climate pollution is a costly and unproven technology and it makes no sense to even consider it when the entire cycle of coal is so dirty. And, means that all of our friends and allies fighting coal mining are left out of the 1 Sky initiative, which is a huge loss of a major ally. And, all of our resources should be invested in renewable energy and efficiency and we should not be wasting our time trying to make really dirty energy a little cleaner. It’s also important to note that at Power Shift we will be lobbying around these asks except we changed “no new coal plants until they can safely dispose of climate pollution” to “No Coal”

I would only add that any discussion on return on investment should include a comparison showing that it is favorable versus other investments (i.e., the company in question will more money with that particular energy saving as they would a competing proposal). If they see competitive advantage, they will make the investment.
