Obama believes the trend towards clean energy is irreversible

Barack Obama has released an opinion piece in the journal Science in which he states that the trend toward clean energy is irreversible. Solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, biomass and other renewables has already beaten out natural gas, nuclear power, coal and oil. He states four reasons why he believes that renewable energy sources will increase regardless of who is president of the United States. The four reasons are the decoupling of emissions and economic growth, the private sector’s embrace of emissions reductions, the market moving toward cleaner electricity and the global momentum for climate action.
