Imagine: The year 2034, late October.
America is no longer dependent on coal and foreign oil. Consumption of these fossil fuels is down by 60 and 40 percent, respectively. Natural gas consumption is down by 30 percent. Fall is in the air as the U.S. is nearing the end of a perfectly unremarkable hurricane season.
Meanwhile, the economy is nearing full-employment as job opportunities have been created that put people back to work who were looking for jobs or who had given up hope of finding any.
Coincidence? Or the result of a sustained and major investment in clean energy?
