The Trump administration may be denying that humans contribute to climate change. But the marketplace is fully accepting such scientific findings. It’s true even in Trump country — or the midwestern United States — that is placing its bets with renewable energy.
The president’s skepticism of manmade global warming coincides with his support of fossil fuels — that they have comprised the preponderance of energy use and that they are not going anywhere anytime soon. But the stark reality is that climate experts are warning that unless that the global community reduces its use of oil and coal, temperatures could rise and lead to devastating economic and environmental consequences. That’s why the corporate community and especially electric utilities are endorsing the use of lower-carbon fuels.
