China's growing economic power is a growing\u00a0concern for many\u00a0Americans. Can the U.S. continue to compete with China in the global marketplace?<\/p>\n

In a new piece for Reuters,<\/a> EDF President Fred Krupp<\/a> says "yes" — through the power of comprehensive climate and energy legislation.<\/p>\n

Fred talks about the new "tripartisan" effort to pass a climate and clean energy bill\u00a0in the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n

He also talks about how that effort is our best hope to\u00a0beat China in\u00a0the world's clean energy markets — and win the jobs those markets\u00a0create:<\/p>\n

\n

Along with Sens. Graham, Kerry, and Lieberman, I believe we can match the scale of China\u2019s centralized industrial policy by fully deploying the engine of American prosperity: our marketplace. It is the only tool we have with the scale and capital to compete with China. If the U.S. puts a limit on carbon pollution, we will send a clear signal to the marketplace that will unleash a massive wave of private investment in low-carbon energy sources and technologies like carbon capture and storage that would allow us to compete with the Chinese. Only when American policy creates a profit motive for investors, inventors and entrepreneurs, will we have a chance to win the race.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
