This article is a re-post from July of last year….reflecting China’s seriousness and commitment to the green industry. In the future, we will revisit where the issue currently stands. Stay posted. Recent reports from Pew Charitable Trusts show that China leads the G20 countries in energy-efficient investments. Clearly, China have been involved with much more industrial ventures such as the $292.9 billion electric rail investment compared to our stimulus infused $2 billion Orlando-route rail development. Despite United States leading in energy capacity, the report finds that we continue to lag in the “five-year clean energy investment growth rate” category. Some may read this and rebut that we don’t have the money nor time to engage in such exorbitant ventures. Although the consensus of the nation’s economy is in a fragile state, we have no better time to invest than now. The reason I say this is “we must spend money to make more money.” Reviving our manufacturing sector, develop more railroad constructions, bolstering transportation systems, and creating stable jobs, is the product of these investments. New York Times also attest to the notion that “spending on railroads is growing faster than any other area of investment…” So I guess we are either doing a little bit of a good thing or we don’t know how much more the country should do. This is not a tender towards any political affiliation; but a concern that we all should be aware and motivated by. Railroad construction is not the answer nor only grubstake for businesses to buy into; it is part of the alternative energy commitment the United States should continue to embark on. Renewable energy technology is the emerging enterprise that will continue to grow and forge more innovations. Solar installations, green remodeling, wind renewable energy credits(RECs) are domestic ventures that will yield a lot more than ever told. Let such things be your renewable energy investment; because our economy would no longer sustain this “plan A” type of economy and hold it over the lives of the middle-class and workforce of the country. Are we hanging on for a big jolt on the hopes of an energy and climate bill? Is this issue less critical or significant than financial or immigration reform? Sadly, we have dug so deep into generational debt, and our chances for economic revival and expansion in clean renewable energy investment has quickly fallen past the top 10 of clean energy investing categories at this point. So we must charge up in these opportunities. In addition the United States has no standard for renewable energy expansion nor lengthy incentives to cultivate business investments. Pew reports show that: These few statistics cannot emphasize any more about the very importance of clean energy investment; even if we are not the leading nation in this endeavor, the United States should look beyond fundamental differences within the government and exercise more expansion on clean energy investment to help our economy, debts, younger generation and long-term jobs.
