Comment:
In order to hit the targets and timelines (to save this fragile planetary climate system) we need policy arrangements that: - Guarantee renewable energy access to the grid for small, medium, and large providers - Pay a decent price to the energy provider, whether that is an individual home owner, small business, farmer, or major power plant - Guarantee the policy program for a solid number of years (for example a 20 year program) - Have flexibility to adjust prices from time to time. - Phase out the program over the 20 years. The FEED-IN TARIFF approach similar to Germany, Spain, and Switzerland it the kind of approach that can deliver the above arrangements. One can hardly ask for too much when it comes to developing a zero waste, closed loop, sustainable prduction and consumption society that is powered by renewable energy. We had better not ask for too little if we want future generations to have a dignified life.
