Thoughts on rebuilding America's economy

Earlier today, the New America Foundation held a panel discussion on rebuilding the economy, featuring speakers such as National Association of Manufacturers President John Engler and Ethan Zindler, head of North American research at New Energy Finance.

It was a provocative discussion. In particular, I was interested by something Zindler mentioned. His firm’s research came to the following conclusion:

“Energy independence and job creation took precedence over climate change on the campaign trail.”

From our perspective, energy security and job creation and addressing climate change concerns are not mutually exclusive.

Deploying advanced technologies will create jobs here at home, and at the same time ensure that America does not become more reliant on foreign energy resources and consumers are left paying higher energy costs.
