Energy Principle #8 - Increase Renewable Sources of Electricity

by General James L. Jones, USMC (Ret.)

Any effort to meet growing demand and address environmental concerns with continued economic growth requires zero and near-zero emissions power generation to be developed and deployed.  This is true not only in our country but around the world.  We require a predictable and durable fiscal regime to stimulate new investments in solar, wind, energy-from-waste, and other renewable technologies.  We must also invest in developing the required technologies needed to expand and transport new sources of commercially viable renewable energy.
