The Truth Behind Trump’s ‘Hoax’
Entrepreneurs and big business know that meeting demand to curb emissions is good business. How can we get our president-elect to agree?
First, some context:
- Tesla is wagering $2.6 billion on renewable energy
- Tesla is running an entire island on solar power
- Google pledged to nearly double its renewable energy investment
- Many in big business support government support into renewables
- Entrepreneurs are changing energy resources around the world
- Entrepreneurs feel that lack of government support for renewable energy is hurting them
- China is the world’s largest investor in renewable energy
Reducing carbon is well beyond popular global support. It’s good business. It’s great business.
Yet our president-elect calls the global warming a hoax. He’s holding people back from helping. At Inc., we care about business, so let me put it in business terms: He’s holding businesses and entrepreneurs in particular from meeting market needs.
He’s holding businesses and entrepreneurs from making profit. Tesla, Google, and their peers are trying, but our president-elect is making them swim upstream.
I don’t know anyone who has any idea on how to change Trump’s position. As long as we don’t, our nation risks falling farther behind in meeting global demand.
