Most of this, the assessment shows, will need to come from utility-scale wind and solar resources, in addition to rooftop solar, aggressive energy efficiency, a rapid ramp-up in zero-emission vehicles and many other measures.<\/p>\n<p>This is a colossal challenge, but is consistent with the international goal of keeping global average temperatures from rising more than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial conditions. Even a two-degree increase would have very negative consequences to humans as well as other species, with California\u2019s current drought just a sampling of what is to come. The consequences of a greater temperature increase are unthinkable. As Governor Brown<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gov.ca.gov\/news.php?id=19047\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>earlier this week, \u201cWe have to respond, and if we don\u2019t the world will suffer, we will all suffer. In fact, many people, millions, are suffering already.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Voters in Los Angeles County recognized the critical need to address climate change when they overwhelmingly rejected Proposition 23 \u2014 the 2010 ballot measure that would have suspended California\u2019s landmark global warming law. A very recent<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ppic.org\/main\/pressrelease.asp?i=1824\" target=\"_blank\">PPIC poll<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>shows that strong majorities of Californians believe that a warming climate poses a serious or very serious threat to California\u2019s economy and quality of life and favor policies to tackle the problem. LA County can play an important role in addressing this paramount challenge of our time given that the Antelope Valley region happens to host one of the largest untapped concentrations of high-quality wind resources in all of California. The draft state-federal<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drecp.org\/draftdrecp\/\" target=\"_blank\">Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>envisions that LA County, along with six other counties in the region, will each contribute substantially to the achievement of the state\u2019s renewable energy development goals. And yet, even this plan would place off limits some 80 percent of the best wind resources on relatively remote federal lands for reasons that have not been clearly articulated.<\/p>\n<p>With these kinds of categorical wind energy prohibitions \u2013 rather than a careful case-by-case assessment of the potential impacts of proposed projects \u2014 it is hard to imagine how we will achieve the magnitude of project construction that is needed to meet our climate goals. Even the current system of California and U.S. environmental law, with its multiple delays and veto points, may be incompatible with the<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsdsn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/US-Deep-Decarbonization-Report.pdf\">scale and pace<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>of the transformation of the energy system that is needed. No one is saying that utility-scale renewable energy should go everywhere, but done responsibly and with local input and safeguards, it does have to go somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, some people do not wish to see wind energy development in their communities, even as others welcome wind for keeping their ranches and farms economically viable. But there is no escaping the physical reality that, in order to achieve the dramatic expansion we need in renewable energy to preserve a habitable planet for all, we are going to need a lot of renewable energy projects. This has been compelled by society\u2019s failure to come to grips with the climate problem two decades ago, when scientists were already sounding the alarm and there was still time to act and avoid such choices. At this point, LA County must act consistently with the state\u2019s leadership to tackle global warming, and resist what amounts to \u201cnot-in-my-backyard\u201d opposition.<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget the many local benefits associated with wind energy development. Wind energy emits no pollutants like nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide, thereby improving LA\u2019s air quality and reducing associated health impacts by displacing fossil-fuel generation and, increasingly, by fueling electric vehicles. Wind energy uses no water to produce electricity; so, by displacing thermal generation, the nearly 6,000 MW of wind energy capacity operating in California today saves 3.4 billion gallons a year of fresh water. \u00a0Wind energy is compatible with other land uses, from cattle grazing to wildlife corridors. And wind energy development will create jobs and contribute millions in property taxes to county coffers. The wind industry is already supporting some 2,500 direct jobs in the state, providing $70 million to California counties annually in property taxes, and has brought $11.7 billion in private investment to California, while reducing carbon emissions from the state\u2019s power sector by nearly 17 percent.<\/p>\n<p>We all need energy, and so far there is no way to produce it with zero impacts. But wind is one of the cheapest ways to do it cleanly. Blanket prohibitions on wind cannot be part of a responsible solution to the climate problem.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aweablog.org\/la-supervisors-should-heed-climate-imperative-reverse-course-on-proposed-wind-energy-ban\/\">article<\/a> was originally posted in the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aweablog.org\/\">Into the Wind<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nancy Rader, Executive Director of the California Wind Energy Association, and Michael B.
