Lifting restrictions on energy production that have little, if any, environmental benefit, will add 700,000 jobs and $3.7 trillion in GDP through 2035. Electricity expenditures for households will decline by up to 10.19 percent per year. For a family of four, this means an additional $40,000 of income by 2035. | 0_0 |

Under the Kyoto Protocol, for example, companies subject to climate regulations can meet their carbon "cap" by paying for emissions reduction projects in developing countries.

Recent research has pointed not to an imminent revolution in renewable energy, but rather to its limitations. Solar and wind power combined produce less electricity than what is generated from hydroelectric power alone. All renewables are dwarfed in their contribution to total U.S. energy by oil, gas and coal. | 4_4 |
Further, if this is true, then (as is usual in climate-world), ?it?s worse than we thought.?

One likely culprit is the oceans, which already absorb most of the heat. The latest research suggests that more heat than expected could be going into the deep oceans, below 700 metres 7 .

Note that the value for the incoming solar radiation (341.3 watts/m^2) is much less than the values you are used to seeing for Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) at the top of the atmosphere, which is about 1366 watts/m^2.

To bring manufacturing back to the U.S., or encourage expansion, we need energy that is abundant, available and affordableand we'll need to use more, not less.
