“Our conversation focused on how to create millions of secure, American jobs in the construction and operation of commercial and residential clean, renewable energy generation,” Tamminen told CNN.
This could be one of the best chances US environmental activists have in the fight between climate change sceptics – who wants a fossil future – and those who think that renewables represent the future, both for an economic growth (so much cited during the electoral campaign) and a low-carbon economy.
