Clinton pledges that within 10 years of her taking office, the US will (quoting from her campaign website):
"Generate enough renewable energy to power every home in America, with half a billion solar panels installed by the end of Hillary’s first term." (That would mean installed solar PV capacity of 140 gigawatts by the end of 2020, up 700 percent from current levels and well beyond most forecasts.) "Cut energy waste in American homes, schools, hospitals and offices by a third and make American manufacturing the cleanest and most efficient in the world." (The campaign estimates this would save Americans about $8 billion a year in energy and health care costs.) "Reduce American oil consumption by a third through cleaner fuels and more efficient cars, boilers, ships and trucks."...... |
