Letter: We have a duty to mend the environment

Quick hit by the Rev. Jim Roberts, Rockford.

“Like a positive future? David Freedman, 40-year adviser and utility CEO, and Leah Parks say in their book, “All Electric America,” that by reducing the use of fossil fuels by 3 percent per year, and installing renewable energy — efficiency, conservation, solar, wind, hydrogen, heat pumps, energy storage and electric transportation — our economy could be emission free by 2050. And, at costs not exceeding those of oil, gas and nuclear options.”

A vision for an all electric America By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

In their book, All Electric America, S. David Freedman and Leah Y. Parks declare that renewable energy sources can provide us with all the energy we need to run our economy. Their perspective is tempered by Freedman’s 40 years as an energy policy maker and utility CEO. They call for an energy transition that occurs quickly enough to prevent runaway global warming. Wind and solar energy alone are depicted as sufficient to meet all of our energy demand far into the future.

A Book Whose Timeliness is Critical: Dr. David Duke, Assoc. Prof. at Acadia University

…David Freeman and Leah Parks have written a book whose importance cannot be understated and whose timeliness is critical.  It is not a thought-provoking book in that it is aimed at an audience for whom the importance of the subject – a fully-sustainable energy future – is entirely clear. But it is an inspirational book in that the authors show clearly not only why energy sustainability has to be the most important policy issue of our time, but ways to achieve it.

Turning America’s electricity sector into a growing and clean industry

Marritz

This book was a surprise and a revelation. What it does, no less, is propose in the strongest terms that America’s electric utilities do two things: (1) step forward boldly and supplant energy suppliers that fuel our buildings and transportation sectors, both of them high-energy use and high carbon emitting and (2) as quickly as possible, end use of fossil-fueled generation and replace it with renewable energy.

Meanwhile over on the west coast, California’s Sierra Nevada snowpack(crucial to the state’s water supply) has reached its highest level since 2012; and this is good news for a state that has been frantically battling a four year drought. That said, the state’s plight is far from over.
