PrintClimate Change in Energy Policy
Let us go back to the previous two lessons where we learned about national energy policy development and revisit the information, but now through the lens of climate related implications. Review the summaries and scope of the energy deregulation and renewable policies at the state level, and the several national energy policy acts to find where the climate change issue is represented. Note that it may not be explicitly referred to as climate change; but instead, may appear as renewables, efficiency, and sustainable aspects. But we know that renewables, energy efficiency, and other sustainability related aspects more often than not actually refer to greenhouse gas emission reductions as the purpose.
