padClimate Protection and the National Interest

James J. MacKenzie For the U.S. to take the global lead in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it must address its own challenging threats of climate change, air pollution, and energy security. These threats are rooted in U.S. energy consumption and are linked through the gases, pollutants, and technologies associated with the burning of fossil fuels. Currently, the U.S. treats each problem separately, but sometimes alleviating only one problem tends to exacerbate the others. In Climate Protection and the National Interest, James J. MacKenzie shows that an integrated approach would be a much more efficient and economical way of solving these linked problems. The report provides the foundations for designing common solutions by detailing how the problems are linked and what technological paths can most readily surmount them.
