3.5 Environmental and Energy Policies

Key Takeaways

  • Modern US environmental policy began in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a reaction to rising levels of air and water pollution and featured the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and passage of the Clean Air and Clean Water Act.
  • The United States does not have any type of federal public policy in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or a national RPS. Many US states have developed programs to fill in the gap occurring at the federal level.
  • The United States is the second largest emitter of GHG emissions in the world, only surpassed by China.
  • European and Asian countries have more progressive policies in regards to energy use and climate change and are emerging as leaders in clean technology as a result.
