To address these problems, we develop Green New Deal energy roadmaps for 143 countries.

Natural gas as fuel: Thumbs down!
I never liked the idea of using natural gas as a “bridge energy fuel”. It seems to me unrealistic to invest substantially in additional CO2 producing infrastructure which will simply need to be stopped and teared down a lot sooner … Continue reading
