Trump should back renewables
Letter To Editor by Bob Scheelen, Medford Mail Tribune, January 12th 2017; Rogue Valley Messenger, Jan 19th 2017
Campaigning, President-elect Trump argued that he’d make a great president, benefiting the nation and middle-class workers, because he is a good businessman and would go against the grain of the elite structure.
If these arguments are true, then he will see the clear opportunity in converting the U.S. to renewable energy. Renewables are now equal or lower in cost than fossil fuels. Converting entirely to renewables will create millions of good-paying jobs, far more than are offered today or potentially by the fossil-fuel industries.
