Jesse Jenkins joined ABC's Diane Sawyer on "The Conversation" via Skype today, to discuss clean technology competitiveness in the United States. In the interview, Jenkins emphasized the findings of the Breakthrough Institute/ITIF report, "Rising Tigers, Sleeping Giant," explaining to Ms. Sawyer that a national strategy for clean tech competitiveness -- something China, Japan, and South Korea all have -- is the primary limiting factor for the U.S. in its effort to keep pace with rising clean tech tigers, as well as the E.U.
Allowing access to domestic alternative energy resources and nuclear power as part of a comprehensive energy strategy would significantly reduce U.S. reliance on oil & natural gas imports, improve domestic energy security, diversify supply and increase economic development. Wind, solar, biofuels, nuclear, renewable and conventional: all are part of a complete energy portfolio that America desperately needs! The emerging energy potential in this country is staggering! We need government to take the necessary steps to promote a future focused on energy security, job creation, and prosperity for America.
