The Climate Clock is Ticking #shortsvideo

Energy Scientist Jack Kerfoot keeps driving home the point that the clock is ticking and that we have to take action immediately. When we talk about North Carolina and Virginia, not only do they have strong offshore wind, these states, are really going out of their way to develop these resources, and that to me is very positive. Florida, Kentucky, and West Virginia have neither an energy standard nor any energy goal, which perhaps explains why these states have no real obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and really have done very little at developing the renewable energy resources for the state. No coal mine lasts forever. And when the coal mine loses economic viability, they close it down and the coal miners lose their job. But as long as the wind blows and the sun shines, those jobs and renewable energy power plants are going to be there forever. So job security is one reason the wind farms and solar parks can recruit people from the coal fired power plants and coal industry to come to work for them, job security, and they're very well paid as well.
