The United States' Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. On that day, thirteen American colonies proclaimed their freedom from Great Britain.
A few years after the American revolution, the industrial revolution dawned, beginning America's meteoric rise to global dominance. While, fossil fuels are the engine that drove this growth as a leading cause of climate change, they must replaced.
Americans have some important choices to make and ending this administration and Republicans control of the Senate will put a stop to their criminally irresponsible denial of climate change and their unyielding support for dirty energy.
We must rethink some of the basic notions of the old economy. We need more efficient and sustainable visions of the future. We must also find ways of meeting our energy needs while radically decreasing climate change causing emissions. This means we must begin moving towards 100 percent renewable energy.
The G7 has already agreed to eradicate fossil fuel use by 2100 and getting all our energy from clean sources is possible. Stanford professor Mark Jacobson is among a growing number of researchers who have provided evidence to support the contention that we can transition to 100 percent renewable energy in the US. Jacobson has developed plans for all 50 states to transform their power infrastructure to rely on wind, water and solar power.
Eliminating fossil fuel use and adopting renewable energy is our only hope if we are to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. It is time to herald a new era powered by renewable sources of energy and it starts by getting rid of the worst federal government in the history of the Republic.
