The Clean Energy Revolution: How Regulations Can Save the Planet (and Our Pockets)

Posted on May 22, 2025 By Tom Clansy No Comments on The Clean Energy Revolution: How Regulations Can Save the Planet (and Our Pockets)

Did you know that if every country in the world adopted renewable energy at the same rate as the United States, we could avoid 75% of projected climate change by 2050? (1) That’s right, folks – the world’s most pressing issue could be averted with a simple shift towards clean energy. But what’s holding us back? Enter: clean energy regulations.

For far too long, energy policy has been stuck in the dark ages. Industry leaders have profited from fossil fuels, while the rest of us have suffered the consequences – from melting polar caps to respiratory problems. But things are finally starting to change. Governments around the world are waking up to the fact that clean energy isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have.

In the United States, for example, 2020 saw a flurry of clean energy investments and policy changes. The Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) was reformed to prioritize solar and wind power, and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) declared that the world could reach 80% of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2050. (2) This is a far cry from the 20% we’re at now.

But here’s the thing: regulations are just the beginning. As we transition to a clean energy economy, we need to ensure that the benefits are shared fairly. That means protecting workers in the fossil fuel industry, investing in clean energy infrastructure, and creating jobs in the renewable sector. This is where the real challenge lies.

Take, for example, the case of Germany’s Energiewende (Energy Transition) program. Launched in 2010, it aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. But the program was plagued by bureaucratic red tape and a lack of coordination between government agencies. As a result, costs ballooned and delays mounted. It took years for the program to get back on track.

So, what can we learn from Germany’s mistakes? For starters, we need to prioritize simplicity and transparency in our regulations. We need to make it easy for companies to invest in clean energy, and for individuals to participate in the transition. We also need to invest in education and training programs, so that workers in the fossil fuel industry can transition to the renewable sector.

In conclusion, clean energy regulations are not just a necessary evil, they’re a key driver of the clean energy revolution. By working together, we can create a world where energy is clean, abundant, and affordable for all. The statistics are on our side – it’s time to make the transition happen.
