Amy McGrath on Energy & Oil

 

 


Climate change: wars will fought over water, resources

We are seeing hurricanes, floods, and fires in ways we've never seen before. Large parts of the world (the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia) are experiencing dramatic desertification at an alarming rate. This means less food will be produced and large migrations of people will be forced out of the lands they occupy today. In the 20th century, we fought wars over values or economic clashes. In the 21st century, it will be over water and resources. We need leaders that get it.

Invest in renewable energy

Climate change isn't a theory. It's a fact. And it's not just scientists around the world who know it. The United States military recognizes it--and realizes that it poses a serious challenge to our national security.ÿ

All of this is why the Trump Administration's decision to slash research on sustainable, clean sources of energy is so wrong-headed and concerns me--and should concern every patriotic American. Both from a security and an economic standpoint, we need to invest in renewable energy.

Climate change is a fact we can no longer deny

We can't afford to look other way, and we can't afford to keep denying this challenge exists. This is the world's future and we have to adapt! We must lead the world in planning for the effects of climate change and working hard to mitigate them. This should not be a political issue. This is an American issue and a global issue. We need leaders that get it.
